[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you say I am glad you recognized this job was too much for one person and I am looking forward to training Bob to take over those functions. [b] I am concerned that you will be paying bob substantially more than me, [/b]even though he’ll be doing half the work that I’ve done on the past, and about the same as what I’ll be doing going forward.  I want to believe it’s not because he’s a man, but rather because you realized that you need to pay more to get someone qualified to do this work.   I’m asking you to review my salary and adjust if upwards to equal bobs.  If there’s some reason you think that’s not appropriate, I’d love an opportunity to discuss why.

Something like that….[/quote]
Don't do this! This isn't about Bob at all.

OP, this is about you and whether you are being paid market rate and also whether your leveling reflects your responsibilities. You have some tangible evidence that your organization considers your responsibilities to be 2 levels above you...though it's possible they will say that they hired Bob at the higher level because they expect the responsibilities to expand significantly (I've seen this happen). If you think that you are underpaid, then tell them that. Don't invite direct comparisons to Bob...that will just make you seem petty and make it easier for your concerns to be dismissed as petty.[/quote]
