<prompt> Human: Ive been working at my job now for about 2.5 years. A few weeks ago my coworker, Ann 2 years did some investigating and and found out that the newer people were getting paid more than we are. Note that Ann and I are both colored ie. Black and Asian. Feeling quite frustrated and after planning for a few weeks, today I came into my bosss office and told him that I was needing a raise because ive been here for so much longer and my pay is still basically the same as when I started. Boss said that we are working on getting reviews done but might not be until the end of this year. He also pointed out to me that they pretty much gave me the position I want in the job so maybe he was using that as a what else do you want more? situation.Last night I texted one of the girls I used to work with and she told me that at that time she was getting paid the same as I did when ive been here for about 1.5 years and she just started. Another thing that made me so upset was that there was another girl that also used to work here and they started her at 1.25 more than me! Wtf!I didnt tell my boss I knew how much almost everyone is getting paid because I didnt know if a. that was allowed and b if he asks where I found this out, I dont want it to be an issue for me or Ann. I honestly dont know what to tell them to give me one because towards the end of the convo boss said hell take it into consideration. So yes? No? Idk.. I definitely know im getting cheated here. What do I do? Any advice? Should I look for another job? Do I talk to him again and let him know I know whats going on? I never wanted this to be about race but when Ann pointed it out to me, it opened my eyes. Im 24 and honestly quite naive so this is a first. HELP!Sorry if that was long. Hopefully it makes sense..Update: The consultant that we hired told me just now that the girl whos been working here for 6months has gotten a promotion and she is now who I report to. Fuck dat.  <response>: First off, youre not being cheated. Youre doing a job for a rate that you and the company agreed on. Other people managed to get the company to agree to pay them a higher amount for the same job. Thats not cheating. Second, youre never going to prove youre getting paid less because of your race unless the company comes out and says it. There are a million different reasons a company might decide to pay different people different amounts, and the burden of proof is on you to prove that your skin color is the reason in this case.If you want to make more, start job hunting, because it doesnt sound like this company is interested in giving you a raise.
