My company rejected my raise request and then hired someone new for almost 30% more than my salary. I'm furious, but I also don't want to burn bridges. What would you say to management?

  • Further to.my suggestion above, do not compare yourself and your ability to that of others. Have confidence in your ability and try to acquire new,... latest skills, update your knowledge in your field of expertise. You can definitely succeed in life ✨️  more

  • Last year, I went through something similar because some of my bosses failed to recognize and acknowledge my growth. The person they hired instead... only lasted four months and ended up stealing from the organization.

    Today, they have given me the job. I never confronted anyone or fought to prove myself. My track record spoke for me.

    Sometimes, you just need to relax, stay focused, and continue doing your work. Your consistency, character, and results will eventually speak louder than anyone’s opinion of you.

  • Please provide more details about your position, qualifications, experience and reviews. Do you know the experience, qualification, and resume of the... new person just hired? Once those details are provided better guidance comments can be offered. more

  • You give no information for me to make a fair assessment as I won't assume anything as previous responses. Things such as the type of... job(professional/non-professional), your length of service, reason for declining your raise request', are others being denied raises, are others being hired at 30% ect. ect. ect. ect. Bottom line: If you can't provide reasonable detatils, enjoy all the responses based on assumption and not fact!  more

  • That happened to me when I was working after I took buy out package. They were paying non experienced employees more than my salary

  • So obviously (maybe) the new person has some skill they wanted that you do not have, or they have gotten complacent with your easygoing manner and are... taking advantage of you. If there are no different skills, then I would start looking for a new job, cause maybe you are on way out and do not know it. Once you get a better offer, take it. Companies are not loyal to employees anymore; they want your life force and skills till the next shiny thing comes along, and will stab you in the back when you need them the most. more

  • In this current environment of job losses kindly do not take any risk without some alternative job offer. May be i am an old timer with outdated... ideas. But that is the suggestion I give as a senior citizen. more

  • Don't confront management yet, first try and find out why the new hire got a significantly better offer. Also, do some self evaluation and reflection... to find out if and where you may not be meeting the expectations of management. There is always a reason for any management decision concerning pay!  more

  • Start a new company and major in your field. Let other companies give you high paying contracts. Pull a lot of clients who used to go to your previous... company for services  more

  • Id find a new job that pays more and then apply again if its that important. They can pay you more or someone else can

  • I would explain how you value management and the company but they need to value you back, especially seeing as you've been there longer than new... hires. The loyalty you show as an employee should be reciprocated by your employer. If for some reason they don't like you saying that, remind them of how the hiring process costs the company more money than giving out raises to current employees, and that it should be even less of a big deal as they are willing to pay 30% more for people who they still have to train and who have to learn on the job skills. more
