Is this a bad situation?
run4yourlives: If you have a problem with what you are getting paid or otherwise compensated, they are the people you need to talk to, not us.You already have a value that you consider to be fair, and clearly you aren't receiving that. They need to know that you feel this way, exactly.They may agree and choose to improve your situation, or they may disagree.If they disagree then the choice is yours: accept their view unconditionally, or end the relationship and move on. Unfortunately, not everyone can always come to an agreement,  but most employees use the fear of losing a job to accept things that they should never consider.
