I accidentally got paid my Indian colleague's salary as well as mine a few months back. Rather awkwardly, I discovered that despite being more junior than him, I actually got paid more.
Obviously I'm not complaining, because I want to earn as much as possible, but it does seem a bit unfair. On one hand, I guess I'm better at negotiating a higher salary (mine's not that much higher, maybe 5-10%), but at the same time, it seems unfair that he does the same work and gets paid less.
How would discussing my salary with him benefit me (in a purely capitalistic sense)?
