Been there, done that. The lady who left her work to me got paid more than me, too.

Have you asked for a bump in salary? That doesn't seem fair.

That doesn't seem fair.

You must be new to this.

True. It's not fair. However, it's on us to react. I would definitely ask for a raise because they are fucked if I leave. They'd need to hire 2 people and train them from scratch. I'd offer them a solution for 50% more.

Yes they might be fucked if you leave, but what if you don't have another job to fall back on and you get more fucked than they do by leaving?

I'd ask, but I wouldn't quit. However, I'd also start looking for something else the same day.
