I've been working at my job for a little over 11 months now. I was hired in at $5.50. Shortly after, our new hires were being brought in at $6.00. My manager was supposed to raise everyone's wages across the board. However, she did not. I knew this, but because I do not use my job to support myself, I did not care to make waves about it.
However, I have recently taken on a very stressful specialist position--I head a department that is responsible for 40% of our annual sales. I found out through the grapevine that one of my co-workers who has worked for us only 4 months is making $6.75 while I am still making $6.25.
Like all good bosses, my GM is hard to read and scary to approach.
I cannot bring up that I know about my co-worker's wage, because it is not lawful for us to speak about in the workplace which completely deteriorates the basis for bringing it up.
How do I tactfully handle this situation?
