DISQUS

I was nervous about asking for equal pay but was determined to do it during last fall's input period. I talked to my Project Manager about it. I respectfully and calmly asked for any disparagy between my co-worker's and my pay be corrected. I didn't say I worked harder, better, was more clever. I stated that we each have exceptional and professional skills in our job, and we each bring unique talent and perspective. I also said that if I had the higher salary, his should be equalled to mine, equal pay for equal work.
During our debrief, I was told my request was sent up to corporate and I received a 7% increase this January.
