If the new hire is 18k more than yours, and you are experienced, leave. it means someone else will pay you waaaaay more

Don’t worry! The raise will be 3.5%! Which will totally cover inflation!

"If market rate is $18k higher than mine, it sounds like I'll have no problem finding a new position with a different company"

Hi George, love your content! However I became a manager only few months ago and my social media is flooded with horrible bosses content that really feels overwhelming. Trying put humans first and still hold boundaries, get work delivered and stay professional is not easy. I have an amazing team though and would love to do right by them. Any examples of happy and positive stories for inspiration? Any advice is highly appreciated! 😉

If they're making $18k more than me then they should be TRAINING ME!

18k is quite significant, I would turn in my notice that day if my salary was not increased immediately

Yep. I was a manager and the INTERN working for me was making $20k more than me. I went straight to the director and got that fixed. Thank goodness he responded the right way and not like in your TT.

Well if the market's moved sounds like it's time to get back on the market. And probably drop that onboarding.

18k is ridiculous. if it was like 1.8k I might be able to just be annoyed about it, but 18k?! union up and get a lawyer JFC

This happened at an old job and the new girl was bragging. Had people who had been there for years who were highly experienced and even certified for the job while she was both inexperienced and not certified. People were heated and demanding pay increase and got those who didnt get at least what the new girl was making quit on the spot

Market is only one factor in determining pay. And an $18K difference should trigger a comp market review and adjustments.

It would be a “I quit, effective immediately. Now let’s talk about bringing me back on at 20k above my current rate.”

Discussing pay with coworkers is federally protected.

"thank you for the advice on the current employment market. i will look into whether this salary discrepancy will be resolved by entering the hiring market."

Even just putting "no discussing pay" in the company policies is highly illegal, it's a chilling effect on free discussion. Even if you never tell employees, just having it in there is a big no-no.

"if we adjusted everyone every time the market moved we'd bankrupt."
Oh boy, I've heard something very similar to this before. My thoughts were something along the line of: "well thank you for letting me know that the business model that this company operates on is not profitable."
