Kitchen worker asked to train new hire, finds out the new hire is making $2 more than them: 'This is just part of a larger pattern of disrespect with this company'

At some point, when you've been around the workplace for a while and seen plenty of other people come and go—possibly a great many, depending on your company's turnover and staff retention policies—you'll be asked to start training. Of course, this won't necessarily mean that you're any closer to a promotion, but theoretically, it could—just don't count on it.

Not only have you been there for a while, but you probably haven't gotten a raise in a while either, so when the new hire lets slip how much they're making, or you accidentally see it in their onboarding materials somewhere, you'll have that dawning realization followed by the sinking feeling that they're actually making more than you are despite obviously having less experience.

This is pretty much the experience that this worker had when they were asked to train a new hire after a massive exodus of staff in the kitchen where they worked. When a new hire came on board, they were asked to train them up, but then found out through word of mouth of other staff that the person they were training was making more than they were.
