I'm in the bathroom trying to calm down. I found out yesterday I make less per hour than my coworkers who work the same position and have been here longer than me, and coworkers who are new hires.
I make almost a dollar less. I brought it up to my supervisors and I was told it's based on work experience in the past, and seniority with the company, which they agreed with until I told them I know a new hire being paid the same wage with less experience.
I was told the budget would be looked at and that I had a ten cent raise which means this raise to the same pay everyone else is getting would be 2 raises in such a short amount of time.
I'm also the only trans person at this job and the only one being paid less than 12.07 an hour. I wouldn't be surprised if those two things are connected
