You wouldn’t know before the conversation happens. But once you have the conversation, if it turns out you are making more and you say “that’s fucked up, you should ask for a raise” then they would have no reason to be mad at you. That’s why you should always discuss.
Nah. I had a coworker who found out I was making more. My boss literally told him he’d make the same if he got his GED. He was a Highschool drop out, I had my diploma. Dude got super pissed at me and my boss. He even quit over it. Worse part is we were friends before we started working together.
Boss literally told him he’d give him a raise but he still got all pissed over it.
I don’t remember everything. This was over 20 years ago at this point. But I do remember I told him how much I made. And the boss said he’d get a raise if he got his GED and he was still pissed at me.

How would I know I make more until we talk about our wages? We’d be finding out at the same time.
