<prompt> Human: Im not entirely sure if this really should go here, so please mods lock it if it doesnt.So my Co-Worker at the company I work at is being paid less than me. I found this out when she was talking to me about getting a new job that makes 16 an hour and she said she can really use the extra money. However, that would only be a few extra cents for me. Hourly jobs at my company go in levels, everyone within the different levels makes the same amount of money to start. However, shes been working with the company since before they implemented this system, and instead of bringing her up to the new baseline, they gave her a small raise.Is there anything someone can do in that kind of situation, anything I can do myself? I may find myself in a situation like that down the line, so I dont just want to know to help out my co-worker, but also potentially myself.Assistant: Is there anything someone can do in that kind of situation?Recognize what kind of company youre working for and make peace with the fact that you will be treated poorly by them in the future.Encourage coworker in her job applications and consider making a move yourself.Human: Yea, thats just the thing. I had planned on continuing my career within the company but if thats how they treat people who stick with them for a long time then...  <response>: Yeah, its a rough realization to come to. Been there.
