Hey all!
Me, a male person of color working in tech found out that I might be racially underpaid. I came across salary data for my startup (90 employees) and I was the most underpaid on my team by up to 27% (team of 6). In addition, i validated this by looking at other departments and seeing a racial wage gap too. To also validate this more, 40% of the company are people of color, while only 20% of the ones that make more than 100% are people of color.
To be honest, I'm disappointed af. I love my company, my team, my boss, and the work I do. However, this makes me ao frustrated.
My boss actually talked to me about a raise in Jan and I only started 3 months ago.
So many questions now: - What do you recommend I do considering all the above and that I literally just started this job? - Is it normal to have two people on the same team/position with a 27% salary difference? - Other people of color, how do you deal with this?
Thank you everyone!
