So, I just found out how much everyone in my department makes. My manager messed up.
My manager was trying to send me a project plan and sent the wrong file. The file turned out to have the salary details for the entire team.
I've been with this company for 3 years, and I consistently get 'exceeds expectations' on my reviews. I thought the 3% annual raise I was getting was the norm. Turns out that's not the case at all. The person in the cube next to me, who has the exact same title as me, makes $20,000 more than I do. We both started within weeks of each other and have nearly identical backgrounds. And the kicker is, the kid they just hired 8 months ago makes more than me.
I genuinely don't know what to do with this information. What's seen cannot be unseen. Looks like it's time to start polishing up my LinkedIn profile.
