Will start by saying that in his industry, oh is (imo) massively underpaid for what he does.
He finally got a salary raise recently of 3k and was totally chuffed about it, and i am so chuffed for him. I think he deserves a higher raise than that as it still isn't in line with what the job pays in the industry on average but hey.
The joy was cut a bit short on finding out his colleague had been given a raise of 8k. They both do the same job, in the same office, and my OH has been there for 5 years, this colleague only 2 years.
It is worth noting that the manager of this department is brother to the colleage of 2 years....so possibly had some influence over these pay increases...
AIBU? Is there any way for him to bring this up with HR without sounding absolute crap, or would it even be reasonable to?
Obviously we are chuffed for the other person getting a pay raise too - but felt it should be the same amount at least?
