<prompt> Human: Word got around that Im making a lot more than any of my coworkers at the same level, even if they have more experience. Were talking in the range of 40000-80000 more. Theyre all complaining. So now my boss wants to cut my salary. What can I do besides find a new job?Finding a new job isnt really reasonable because Im making a lot more here than I could make anywhere else and the benefits are good.  <response>: So Im going to play devils advocate here. You havent mentioned anything performance-related that would justify making so much more money than your coworkers. If there are significant performance differences between you and your coworkers, then as other posters have noticed, you should make that argument.But, assuming theyre not, maybe you should consider just taking the pay cut and staying at the job. It may be the case that you are, in fact, significantly overpaid - the fact that you dont think you can make the same amount at another company implies that this might be the case. Maybe the company didnt realize the market rate for your position when you started, maybe your skillset is becoming more common, maybe its something else - I couldnt say without knowing more details. But, in the end, if even after the pay cut this position affords you better compensation than anything else you could get, its still one you should consider keeping. Maybe you were overpaid for some period of time - if so, cool! That was free money for a while, so enjoy it.
