<prompt> Human: People who are starting and have no experience are getting paid practically minimum wage while others with the same experience in the same position are getting paid almost twice as much. Two of those people are guys and they are the only guys that work there. I recently got offered a position at another place getting paid a 1.50 more than what Im getting paid now. Knowing that I have more experience than people getting paid more than me, I told my boss that I was considering this other job and would like to get paid 2 more an hour. I like the people I work with and the families that I work with so Id really rather stay. He replied that annual raises happen in August and he couldnt give me a raise until August. This is a lie because he just gave one of my coworkers a raise. Besides just taking the other job, is there any other advice to negotiate this?Edit: you all are focusing on the fact that Im asking coworkers how much they make. I dont care if its tacky. Im not pushing people to tell me and Im not asking everyone around me. The fact is there is a huge descrepancy in pay and it isnt fair.  <response>: I recently got offered a position at another place getting paid a 1.50 more than what Im getting paid now. Then... switch jobs. nuff said.
