Anyone can shed some light on this?
Today I went to HR to find out about some policy matters, the HR was away, I saw a document somewhere in her desk with many names, they are familiar names, mine is also included in it.
Turned out it is showing me the current pay of everyone, and I am so utterly shocked to find out I am the lowest pay among them.
Most of them are 8k or above, a few are 9k.

I don't know what to feel about this after seeing this, it cannot be unseen.
I am one of the few people that's handling 2 projects, the rest only handle less, so I felt terrible putting in the efforts and being taken advantage of my low pay compared to peers.
My peers always complain to me they have low pay, judging they are slightly older than me, I assume they are low range, but actually quite high? I feel like they are messing with me now.

The good news is, I got headhunted recently to join few months later.
But after today's incident, I am not sure if I am being fooled this time again or not. IF YES, WHY NOT, RIGHT??????

I know is a no brainer, but i am just wondering if i am still categorised as underpaid in my age bracket.

You know it feels so bad when you're nearly 7k but not yet touched it, while your colleagues in the same team are 8k and above, i am doing almost the same thing as them, if not more.

1k plus gap with them. It feels worse every sec since knowing it yesterday. I've been scammed for 2 years straight.

Regarding your comment on ssc understanding, I'm thinking that's the big summary of it, is my understanding of it misleading? It'll be nice if you would add what am i missing on the understanding, I'm already doubting myself making this thread, this remark of yours just made it worse, it'll be kind of you to dispel my doubt at least on what is ssc to you.

Can't really argue about that i accepted the salary in the first place.

I always knew there is a gap, but not this big, anyway i did voiced my concern to my manager and he tried give me a list of things to do to achieve my goal, so that he can proposed the desired amount. I did what he said and now he's telling me the higher up is not approving the extra increment and give me the regular increment instead. I was extremely lucky to land that 10k job and not wait for this bad news. I knew somehow this manager can't be trusted.
