I just found out recently that new hires in my company have been making more then me… significantly more. The upper management recently addressed this in a meeting and said we will all be starting at the same pay level if people are not making said wage. I am making a few cents more then a new hire with zero experience now and I feel so insulted but at the same time feel so guilty because I want to complain about the fact that I’ve been working here for years and am not valued as anything worth compensating. I can’t understand how I feel right now, I’m hurt and upset and feel incredibly stupid for wasting my life working 50-70 hours a week and it was to be valued as much as a new hire with zero experience. I wasted years of my life working here and have nothing special to put on my resume. I feel completely worthless and they have succeeded in killing my spirit.
