That customer I also trained back in the day btw, and went on to start his own business.

The root cause of the issue is that the company I worked for was acquired 3 years ago. They have a different pay scale for project managers, but they seem unwilling to bring the carry-overs up to that scale. We've hired a few more mangers and I suspect they make more than I do. There's one other carry-over manager and I assume he and I are in the same boat.

Anyway, I recommended this guy to my boss, whom I have known for a long time also. In fact he got me involved in this industry. It's an industry where everyone knows everyone. There's a lot more to the story that I won't go into right now but suffice it to say I will be super unhappy if a new hire, a guy I trained, and I guy I will have to train again, makes more $$ than me doing the same job. It hasn't escaped my bosses attention that I have tons more experience than the new hire and the pay imbalance is total BS. He's trying to get it fixed, but I have little faith that I'll get a desirable outcome. My boss is a good friend and I know he's unhappy about the situation and trying his best but damn........this will not sit well.

Sorry, it seemed the perfect opportunity to drive the social justice BS narrative.
