Not happy with the salary

One of my colleagues makes more money than me and also some other folks in the company. He's kind of a junior to us but making more than us. I know I shouldn't get bothered about this but it's easier to say than adopt that thinking. How do you folks deal with these kinds of things? [ Before someone says he might be good at the job I am working with them so I know he's pretty average. ]

Got a role promotion to SDE 2 but hike provided with role change was very minimal i.e 10%. I am disappointed with this as I have been rated very well by my peers. I am thinking of asking to reverse the role change for a better hike. Would like the grapevine community to share some thoughts about this.

I'm working as a Frontend developer (SDE-1) with 1.5yoe, I joined this startup 4 months back. Earlier I was getting paid 9lpa and later I was offered 12lpa without even asking for my previous compensation. I accepted because my earlier organisation was very toxic. Now coming to the point, I came to know that for the same level and same role they're paying 16+lpa. And this is making me mad at them. Within 3 months I'm handling 1 of their 2 products (customer facing) all alone. And I'm doing great work tbh (not boasting) but if they have 10 major features. I have developed 4 of them all alone, solved really critical down time bugs and improved the product. Now I own this product and if any bugs come, I'm the person who's assigned the work. I want to have a chat with the Founder but I'm not sure what to say and he's a guy who will try to save the money at all costs. I'm really mad at this point of time and I'm planning to leave in a few months. If I have a chat with him and he says something harsh, I will resign then and there I'm triggered to this level. And there was no kind of appreciation from them, I'm taking most tickets during the sprints and delivering quality code, communicating well and thinking in terms of product, if there is anything which can be improved I ask from them. How do I have a chat with him and what do I say? Current CTC - 12lpa Expected CTC - 16 - 20lpa YOE- 1.5 (planning to have the call around 3-4 months later), so I will be almost 2 yoe by then.

I am a senior manager in a software company, in my 40s , in the cloud operations domain. I have no post grad ,no certs , and playing a people leader role, no technical knowledge (i am technically inclined but have not made learning tech my priority), I feel like I am not employable if I get fired. I feel like I need to do something to get employable, what can I do?

Having almost 6yrs experience with single digit salary 😭 every friend and colleague are making a killing every recruiter I speak to just offer x% over last CTC but not the amount I ask stating budget issue. This is taking a toll on my mental health unable to focus on up skilling / working in current org plz help not sure what to do.

So I joined a company through a referral. The referral is from a good friend that I trust. After joining the company, there were issues like a laptop taking time to get delivered etc. After 2-3 weeks, my RM, the CEO started showing the true colors. He started accusing me of cheating during the interview assignment. Said, I should work on my personal laptop (I don't have any) and when I told him that I don't have it, he just simply mocked me for it. The issue is, he is not giving me a salary now. I have been connected with him and HR and all they are doing is making this in me. There is no official notice on salary delay or anything. What should I do? I am a bread earner and my family depends on me. Please help. How should I proceed about it

Hi Grapeviners Recently got a hike of mere 2%, even after working day and night and delivering projects on time. I was hoping for a good hike and a promo. Some politics from business and HR really screwed my case. Should i talk to: 1. HR: Raise the issue and tell them that i'm unhappy and make it official 2. Talk to Manager, now that genie is the out of the box, I don't think they can do much How do you end up dealing with a situation like this?

Hey guys! I have been working as a Business Analyst for Conduent for the past 2.5 years. I'm still at the same CTC they hired me on and everytime I brought up the topic to increase my compensation etc, my manager just tells me we are looking into it and it is because of budget issues. The excuses don't stop. its not like other people who joined with me aren't promoted. they did get a 20-30% raise. Can someone suggest me on how do I deal with this situation? Should I look for another job? or should I continue to fight here for the compensation I do deserve ?

I have been working in my company for over 4 years now, each time it's time for Appraisals I am told the company cannot go beyond 7%. But I have progressed in my role through the years and I have delivered excellent growth results this year when the context has been dull. I am super frustrated it could end up with being handed a 7% increment and of course a football to take home, especially after my meeting with my manager. It's getting to me now!

A few colleagues of mine who got promoted in the mid year cycle had ordered a few snacks yesterday. But I didn't go there due to the fact that I wasn't promoted in this cycle. I know that this attitude of mine is going to hurt me but I don't know how to handle this. Any suggestions because frankly speaking this feeling is killing me from inside and I can't stop thinking about this even after my office is over.
