Backstory: I sit right outside my managers office so I can hear a decent bit of what she says when her door is closed. Overheard her giving a yearly review to one of my co-workers, and unfortunately found out he started out making a good bit more than me. I'm kind of ticked off about this given the fact that he had significantly less work experience than me. On the other hand he has a masters degree and I have a bachelors. To top it off, I was recently promoted but was not promised my actual promotion raise until my 2 year review due to the "budget" (which will be in 6 months). Assuming I get that money it would close the gap between us. But I still feel rather annoyed that he would be making the same money I am in a lower position after one raise, that it took me 2 raises and a promotion to get.
What do you think, am I justified in feeling cheated? Or is this normal for someone with a masters degree to receive?
