Manager accidentally screen shares payroll information during a team meeting: ‘I discovered I am one of the lowest paid employees!'

This manager accidentally opened the wrong window during an important conference call.

This mishap unfortunately led to one of the employees, who had been working at the company the longest, discovering that he was actually one of the lowest-paid employees on the entire team.

That's not exactly the vote of confidence you hope for from a manager.

Obviously, there is no time like the present for this author to advocate for himself. Now is the time to rally for a well-deserved raise and promotion, especially if the employee's manager does not want the author escalating this situation further.

Of course, if he did want to rebel in that way, he would be entitled to do so. Personally speaking, I don't know if I could stay at a place where my lack of value was almost being kept a secret from me. That kind of poor treatment speaks to the larger flaws within upper management's priorities.

Keep scrolling below for the full story, and here's hoping that this author decides to relinquish the role of being a company man and embrace the fact that he has some leverage here.

Clearly, the author should have received a raise a long time ago, as several other coworkers of his who began working there after him were receiving more respectable paychecks.
This discovery just goes to show that you should never trust that your employers have your back when it comes to fair wages. Pledging that kind of blind loyalty to a company, no matter how kind upper management seems to be, is unlikely to get you the treatment you actually deserve.
