<prompt> Human: I took over his position about 6 months ago. He went off to another company. Apparently he asked to come back because his new job sucked. I make a smooth 15hr. Oh boy! with no experience within the field I was a freelancer. He was here for about 5 years before he left. How do I approach my boss about the situation. I feel like Im getting underpaid severely.  <response>: Your boss is likely not going to tell you what another employee makes. If you want to know an approximation of what he makes, do market research with websites like Glassdoor. If you want to know exactly what he makes, youd have to ask him yourself.
