The salary range for my grade ranges from $66K to $118K. I equal the most experienced, seasoned person on my team.  My performance has always been excellent in the over 6 years I have been in this department. I have over 25 years experience in the industry. There is one employee that is in the same pay grade that makes approx. 18%-20% more than the rest of the team (it was a favoritism issue-worked at same company prior). My performance has been equal or better than their performance throughout the 6 years.I am about $2K  ($90.5K) shy of the mid-range for my pay grade and this person makes over $105K.I went to HR and advocated for myself for a bump in pay. I was shot down. There was also passive retaliation for it even though I was ensured there would not be.The problem here is that the rest of the team members are bumped up against this person in all aspects. Management shared with them that I went to HR. So, the high paid team member does everything to justify their hefty salary compared to everyone else.  I have drawn boundaries and I have tightened up since being shot down by HR.  I am protecting myself-looking out for me first. It can be defined as Quiet Quitting, but I prefer the term Quiet Living. Out of principal and once my corporation pays my worth, I keep my mouth shut and let the high paid team member go at it, but I will advocate for my other team members.
