Just found out I’m getting paid less because I work part time

I’m not sure if this is common practice or not, but I found out that a couple weeks ago, all my coworkers except for myself and one other got a $2 raise. This is because all my other coworkers are full time and apparently the raise only applies to full time employees. This has been sitting really badly with me, as even the people hired after me are paid more than I am, and I helped get them on their feet here. I’ve only been at this company for 4, almost 5 months but I feel that I am one of the hardest workers there. Part time and full time employees fulfill the exact same job duties, there is no reason in my opinion why we shouldn’t be getting the same wage.

I’m not sure if this is common practice or not, but I found out that a couple weeks ago, all my coworkers except for myself and one other got a $2 raise.

This has been sitting really badly with me, as even the people hired after me are paid more than I am, and I helped get them on their feet here. I’ve only been at this company for 4, almost 5 months but I feel that I am one of the hardest workers there. Part time and full time employees fulfill the exact same job duties, there is no reason in my opinion why we shouldn’t be getting the same wage. On top of this we all split tips from the same pool, so not only are they making more but they’re still getting the same amount of tips which means I am losing money. I talked to my GM about it briefly on my last shift and he said the reason for the raise applying to full time employees was to “incentivize people to go full time” or something. Now i feel super shitty everytime i work knowing that everyone around me is making more. What do I do/ How do I deal with this? Other than this i really enjoy the job and don’t want to quit.
