That's why it's always advisable to do a small research on your prospective organisation or institution before applying

Do your job and your reward will be given to you in Heaven

I feel your pains and I empathize with you. maybe u weren't too keen on the job anyway. Who goes for an interview without knowing a little about the organization? You are going to be psychologically affected knowing that your colleagues earn twice more than you and even your subordinates earn almost as much as you. My advise is, u work calmly for a month or two and apply for a pay rise. If they actually see u valuable, they may want u to be on par with ur equals there by increasing your wages .
Have u asked how long ur colleagues have worked there to earn what they are earning currently? Some salaries are due to the longevity of a staff in a particular organization, and not just about paper qualifications

Jackanda1:
A guy who applied recently(my set) earns almost twice my salary.

I applied to alot of firms before getting hired. Didn't do any background checks atall.

I don't feel like going to work on monday.

MisterBanny:


No, u have to go on Monday pls. Many people out there are looking for such opportunity. It will be an act of Cowardice to jettison a job you just got due to such reason. I felt u were somewhat too desperate to secure the job, reason u couldn't strike a proper Salary bargain. Don't be discouraged Bro. Anything can still happen. Be patient

Jackanda1:
Youre right I was desperate, couldn't secure a job after a month of hunting.

I can't renegotiate the salary. They told me the nature of the job and asked me how much i wanted and i told them. The amount wasn't forced or imposed on me.

It would be foolish for me to apply for a pay raise. They can simply decline, bringing me down further. I would rather resign.

I recently applied to work in an organisation.

After passing the interview and checks, the management was impressed and decided to hire and give me a major role in the company.

When i asked about the payment for my position, they threw me a popular question;
HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD PAY YOU?

I gave them a figure in mind, a little above what i got in my former job. Their facial expression was 'WoW'.

I started work on tuesday and after making friends and chating the secretary, i found out that i earn twice less than the staffs in the company in the same position.

Infact, i earn a little more than the gateman and cleaner. The secretary even earns more.

Its my fault, should have done some checks on the strength and salary structure of the firm before applying.

I feel discouraged. With this information, i won't be able fuction properly. Plus this secretary with her loud mouth will spread the news in the company, making me feel worst.

Anyone with this experience? Please console me.

flokii:
Meet the head of HR in the company and seek redress.. you'll explain to them that you didn't have prior knowledge of what their pay was, but now that you know, they should place you properly so you can give your best.
Let them know it's depressing knowing you earn twice as less as your colleagues in same position and you want your salary ugraded to what your peers are getting. shikena.

No gree for anybody this 2024.. they think it's a joke.

MisterBanny:


Don't resign except u have something better to do pls. Or u still want to go back to joblessness? I advise u work for two or three months, put in your Best and make urself too important and unexpendable , then apply for a Pay rise and it will be granted. I'm so sure about this

RomanceMoney:


Correct.


Just that 2 to 3 Months Is Too Small And Would Seem Too Hasty And Greedy of Him.



He Should Work For Atleast 5 Months Before Trying To Get A Raise. It would have given him enough time to show his worth in the company.

MisterBanny:


Exactly. And within the five months, he should see him as a Staff who is on Probation, then he can put in his Best and assert himself as unexpendable

westlius:
Have they given you employment letter
Most times what you say is different till you see your letter

RomanceMoney:



This is A Wrong Advise.


It is too sudden and They Would Take Him As Just An Unsatisfied Person.



He Requested For A Pay; And They Gave Him Just What He Requested For.



He should work for some 4 to 6 Months with Full Dedication Before Advancing To Write A Letter For Increment In Salary.
