why would you care if they're making as much as you? Case 1: You're making as much as you want (given relevant factors) Therefore you're fine, why are you complaining Case 2: You're not making as much as you want Isn't your beef with your boss for not paying you more, instead of with your coworker? Ask for a raise Though I guess the core is you wouldn't want to work in a place where there's restrictions against you getting a raise (which equal pay could theoretically do if the rules are restrictive enough) As a side note, two thirds of your skill? How would you define that really? Are you able to gauge your coworker's skill levels with that amount of granularity?
