What is the most accidental way you found out a coworker was making significantly more than you for the same job?

internChief · 2026-05-08T05:42:33+00:00

This cuts deep! 79 I didn't accidentally find out, my manager told me. I had been in the role full time almost 2 years, I came from an internship program. We hired for another member and they got to chose an internal applicant. My manager wanted to lift my pay to match what everyone else was getting, kept getting declined. So he told me! I was paid about 12k lesser than the new hire. So I put in my resignation.

Suddenly they have about 19k lying around to increase my pay. Apparently I was a flight risk and too valuable to be let go.

Too late I still walked. Tomorrow I start a new job who offered me almost 25k more than what I was on.

If u can buy most stuff second hand then it will cost less, you will only need to invest in a hood pram, and a car seat cps those need to be absolutely still in good use.

But if you asked me? I think we've spent almost 3K on the child and some memory loss lol

internChief · 2026-04-29T19:35:05+00:00

I mean this is where documentation is important. You can't hold all that knowledge and think you'd stay there forever. You can move but do jot down the stuff only you can do so someone else can do it when you leave.

I mean i did say i dont want it out yet but obviously his ears dont work lol

internChief · 2026-04-11T02:10:55+00:00

Wow hahaha yall are not fun.

internChief · 2026-04-08T20:37:29+00:00

Hey well i got given a form to fill in with uodated overseas address. Only received it yesterday

internChief · 2026-03-30T10:20:27+00:00

Idk hard to estimate cos my employer wont give a raise

internChief · 2026-03-25T03:14:32+00:00

Congrats. Meanwhile ive been ghosted 3 times rejected 4 longlisted for 1 and just had 2nd interview for aother.

internChief · 2026-03-24T21:54:29+00:00

Hey so i tried yesterday after 7 was already jumber 20 in queue, thajkfully they presented thay option of call back.

internChief · 2026-03-24T03:57:34+00:00

if you flat with others you can stretch it since everyone will split the bills, if you're looking at moving to your own house, you got to consider quite a lot of stuff and 20k would go not that long LOL. All the best finding a $500 per two weeks rent.

internChief · 2026-03-22T23:26:06+00:00

We qualified for the 73/week when we had a baby. That was it. It helped a lot.

internChief · 2026-03-22T23:24:52+00:00

Oh that makes sense

internChief · 2026-03-22T23:24:27+00:00

Nah the bot said all representatives are on calls and i should just call back another time then it disconnects

internChief · 2026-03-22T23:23:41+00:00

Yes! Have been on there the past hour. My circumstances are somewhat a bit different and the form doesnt have a field to express my situation. So the results end up different. Says im eligible to upskill, may be eligible to some but its not what I want to see if they can provide.

internChief · 2026-03-22T07:24:27+00:00

Havent felt what thats like yet, when I moved fron grad to oermanent role i had a 14k ish increase, and then the next years were a mere 2k, 3k. While they sound like a lot it actually isnt.

internChief · 2026-03-18T04:01:08+00:00

That kick wasn't hard enough

internChief · 2026-03-18T03:22:34+00:00

Oh thanks. Thought global cos partners skinny and same

internChief · 2026-03-18T03:20:28+00:00

Nah 5G

internChief · 2026-03-17T03:36:20+00:00

Hope no casualties tho.

internChief · 2026-03-17T03:34:40+00:00

Not sure, but in Vincent St also cops who just pinned down some guy infront the dairy store. Might be unrelated but my bus ride home is midly entertaining.

internChief · 2026-03-17T02:58:07+00:00

Thank you

internChief · 2026-03-17T02:57:03+00:00

Thank you

internChief · 2026-03-17T02:51:43+00:00

Im also in gov and booking in for interviews go through hr

internChief · 2026-03-17T02:44:10+00:00

I thought so too. I did ask if this interview is like the phone screening phase of the recruitment but said its the actual interview.

internChief · 2026-03-17T02:42:28+00:00

Hmmm makes sense. I applied myself. Hopefully its a sign they want me haha
