I found out that the two new hires I am training are earning $2 an hour more than I am. I am agitated but what can I do about it. I've spoken to my manager about it and they say “Sorry, it's not up to me who gets paid what.”
I would go to HR but other people have gone to him about their pay and he made an announcement at one meeting saying not to come to him with payroll issues. Talking to the plant manager is hopeless, he thinks I am an incompetent idiot.
(PS. I have a memory handicap, I struggle with my memory recall more than others. I would have liked to keep my handicap private but that information got around somehow… so there's that).
I want to say F*** everything and stop going to work, but what good does that do other than get me fired. I thought about leaving and looking around for other jobs, and going back to school this fall. Is there a correct way I can handle this? Are there any other options I'm not aware of?
