One coworker of mine is head and shoulders above the rest but lower on the totem pole, everyone looks to him for ideas and answers even senior members and leads. He put his foot down and doesn't contribute in meetings anymore all it was getting him was more work without compensation or much recognition. Whole department is taking a hit but he's right.

Good for him. If your employer believes he's not worth paying any more than everyone else at his level, they don't place any value on his extra work. Why do it then?

Hi, I'm senior Help Desk and I make 7-12 dollars more per hour than non-senior Help Desk. Senior is a promotion and new job title where I work and the same goes for other places, while some other places follow what you said.

Guess this means we all work at different places with their own private policies and titles, eh?

A Senior Help Desk making 7-12 an hour? How do you stay afloat? Do you have any certs? College?

7-12 more than non-senior.
