To be embarrassed by my pay?

[Shehavyygah]

I moved internally and the pay rise was minimal. One manager let it slip that they should have started me on £3K more than they did.

Since then two apprentices have started, both have just completed their A-levels and they are paid the same as me. Despite their job role being an apprentice and my job role being higher. Sounds stupid but I feel embarrassed I’m paid the same as someone more junior than me.

A man wouldn’t stand for this.
Don’t stand for this.

No, your manager needs to justify why you are being paid less than your male colleagues. This is an equalities matter!

You've already justified it in your OP! Go back and tell them! And I agree, you should be angry not embarrassed, they are taking the piss

I wouldnt be embarassed, i'd be browsing indeed 😁
