I have been working for the same company for 2 years now. Every year you make at the company you have a review where you get a raise. Only people that work "full time" are eligible.
The first year that I was working there, I was working "part-time", which really just means I didn't have benefits, because I was still working almost 40 hours a week. I started working "full time" when I made my first year, which meant that I did not get a review for my entire full year. It's been a year of me being full time and I had my first review and I left with a $1.5 raise.
A couple of months ago I referred my friend to the job because we were short people. Long story short she has been here 5 months, and she found/was offered a job at another office for $6 more an hour. When she put in her two weeks to leave for the new job, my current boss counter offered her to match the pay for her to stay. So now my friend who has only been working there for less than 6 months got a $6 raise, while I only got a $1.5 raise after two years of working for this company.
While I'm happy for my friend, I can't help but to feel cheated and undervalued. We technically have the same job, but I do more work than she does and I don't know what to do or how to handle this situation.
Do I ask my boss to match her pay? How would I even bring that up? What if she says no? I'm just really lost as to what my next steps are..
