I work for a computer giant. I work in a team of 2. Today my manager pinged me and told me that there was something he needed to talk to me about. And it turned out that a company policy made amendments to salaries of people joining the company after a particular day and hence my teammate who is less experienced and new to this company is going to end up getting a big hike and a salary more than me
I couldn't believe what he said. But then I got to know it's true from my coworkers. I handled the situation with grace. I told my manager, " There is always a next time. And when you get a next chance remember that I wasn't given a hike. " He just tapped me on my shoulder and said " That's graceful and great attitude ! " I don't know if I could or should have done something else. What do you suggest guys ??
