I just dont get it. I have stepped up at my job in many different ways, but recently found out my co-worker who is equal in education and has been at the place of work a year less than me, makes $1 more an hour than me. I do more than she does. Im reliable and rarely call off, but she does all the time. I train people and am assigned interns, etc... Yet she makes more. Why would my boss be ok with this??? I guess Im just frustrated because this is the second time this has happened. (The first time, my other co-worker quit.) Now, with the recession, I look like a jerk asking for a raise when 3 people were laid off last month. I should be happy I have a job, I suppose. It is just a sh*tty situation. SIGH!
