<prompt> Human: Before you say Just ask!, heres the tricky part - Im not supposed to know and found out completely by accident.Ill keep it short. I work at a bank. Im a senior open personal and business accts., CDs, sales, etc. CSA. Been there a little under a year. Coworker has been there a month, cannot open accounts or anything, CSA. I picked up a printed pay stub I thought was mine since I had just printed it. Look at it, see their name, making 13hr. I make 13.13hr. Im livid because Ive been busting ass to make sales and push my way up in the company so I can earn more to make more contributions to 401k and my emergency fund.Im terrified of going to my boss and asking for a raise with this information, because I could risk losing what Ive worked for. But Im still furious that I literally earn 1 a DAY more than someone whose been struggling in the job.So how can I go about asking without risking everything? EDIT: I really didnt expect this to blow up as much as it did! Im taking a lot of the advice here and planning carefully what to do from here, as well as out reaching in my connections to get all my options. Thank you everyone!Assistant: Never mention your colleagues salaries. Ask for a raise based on your performance value to company.Human: The thing is that I just got a raise 2 months ago, so its hard to just ask for another one without that knowledge.  <response>: if you think you are worth more dont rule out other places of work
