• This is exactly what happened when a supervisor accidentally shared the wrong screen during a meeting, briefly revealing the team budget for the next year. One of the longest-serving employees noticed through this error that they were one of the lowest-paid people on the team, with a new hire earning double their salary. It left them questioning their position at the company and wondering if it was an issue that they should be raising with their supervisor or HR. They asked for advice on the situation.
