Hi /r/ Personal Finance
I live overseas and recently I started working with a new company. About two weeks ago I received an email with some information that needed to be reviewed by HR and one item (out of many) ended up being partial company payroll information for employees in my department. My best guess is that the file was accidentally saved under the wrong title, because it's not obvious from the attachment file name.
No one knows I have this information. What is shocking was to see how little I'm earning in salary compared to several colleagues. I'm the new head of my department but I'm not earning close to what several other employees are earning; even some with lessor positions. Those with equal footing to my role are essentially earning about twice to three times the amount I earn.
Obviously I want to now renegotiate my salary and a better package; maybe even back-pay; but as I'm new to the company I want to proceed with some caution.
Not sure the best way to go about this to keep myself protected, increase my salary, and to avoid this biting me in the ass somehow.
Any advice?
