The day I found out my colleague earns 30% more for the same role
It was an accidental slip. A teammate mentioned her CTC while we were chatting casually. Same designation, same team, joined after me but her salary was almost 30% more. My stomach dropped. I spent days debating whether to bring it up. I didn’t want to come off as insecure or difficult. But I also couldn’t un-know what I knew. Eventually, I had an honest, data-backed conversation with my manager. Turns out, I was right and they revised my pay. It wasn’t easy, but it taught me this: silence doesn’t protect you. Companies run on numbers. If you don’t negotiate, you leave money on the table. Have you ever been in a similar spot? How did you navigate it?

I got a decent salary but most of my colleagues were highly underpaid.

Dislikes

The culture is very toxic. I worked for hindi content team as an Audio Engineer and i was expected to work and have no opinions. Every time I would raise a question or disagree, the managers would go on a frenzy about team work and hard work. The engineers with the least experience are made your leads just because they are easy for the managers to control. All creative roles including writers, editors and audio designers are treated as labour and are heavily looked down upon by the managers. Its an audio company with Audio Engineers at the bottom of the food chain. Management is very poor and their deliverables and procees changes every month. You will have no work for 2 weeks and then suddenly you will get work of 2 months and managers will ask you to complete it in 2 weeks. It’s the biggest management failure if you cant maintain a continuous and sustainable workflow. You will waste so much time on pointless meetings and the managers will themselves be late. It doesnt matter if you are an expert at your role, if you cant be a yes man to the managers, you wont get promoted and will be asked to leave in the next lay off cycle- which is every 3-4 months btw.
