To be honest I think its a fair comment. I'm struggling to read your messages and understand what you're trying to say. May be not phrased very well, but correct message trying to be sent.

Employment rewards aren't always just about experience - attitude can count too.
But you could try doing what I did earlier this year. I sat down with one of our directors and asked if there was anything I needed to do, to get a bit more salary. I told him I was disappointed by annual rise (4%), and I'd hoped for more. I explained why I thought I was worth more, and in my case I was able to point out how much revenue I generated for the company - I know not everyone can do that.
2 days later, I was told my rise had been doubled.
I STRONGLY advise that you don't say "X gets paid more than me, I want more money" !!
I try not to get too stressed out on the forum. I won't argue, i'll just leave a thread if you don't like what I say.0 -

Don't value yourself by other people being worse off/getting less.
But a banker, engaged at enormous expense,Had the whole of their cash in his care.

Spam or no spam, how is it that people know what salary their colleagues are receiving?
I never knew what my colleagues were getting and never told them my salary when I was employed. It was just never done.
