Wait, what? You seem to be saying that person who was making 45k was getting paid less than they were worth. And now that they are paid 75k they are "finally" getting paid what their worth. And the person who was previously making 75k was getting paid exactly what they're worth before and after? That seems like a bold claim. How convienent that everyone happens to be worth almost exactly the same. It seems to me that the person who got the huge bump is now getting paid more than they're worth. If person A is getting paid 66% more than they're worth and person B is getting paid only what their worth then person B is going to be upset. Maybe they shouldn't be, but they absolutely will.
