Dear Rebecca & Burns,
I manage the sales department in a medium-sized company that made it through the pandemic surprisingly well. That's why I was taken off-guard when my boss told me that I wouldn't be getting a raise this year because of budget reasons. Here's the thing--another department manager got a sizable raise. This is frustrating because the other manager is always late and not well-liked by her department.
What should I do? I'm not supposed to know what other managers make.
