In reply to Evil HR Lady. Sadly, I haven't calmed down. Still uncomfortable. Reviews are next month and I will use that time to attempt to re-negotiate.

I once worked at a law firm where the partners posted all associate compensation on a bulletin board monthly. It was completely transparent and everybody loved it. When you helped bring in business or win a case, your fat bonus was there for all to see. And when you spent a month warming your seat, everybody could see that, too. It was extremely motivating and completely eliminated all the whispering and wondering about what others were being paid. Granted, it probably only works when compensation is well thought out.

In reply to Jeanne. Absolutely. It's just wrong, isn't it?

In reply to Cary. I hope she's calmed down.

The really horrible part is the reason she’s underpaid is probably because she’s the most loyal. So many companies give higher salaries to attract new people and don’t give raises to loyal hard working employees. It continues until the loyal employess get fed up and leave.

Interesting, that’s a lot of anger over a simple mistake (which isn’t gross incompetence – I’d be surprised if the OP had never attached the wrong thing to a email) that actually gave you info you could use to your advantage.
