I hate to be the one to bring this up, but seeing as how I&#x27;ve been a &quot;boss&quot; before who decided pay raises... perhaps you are underperforming your teammates?<p>The pay that we&#x27;ve given out has always been related to performance and determined by market value&#x2F;supply and demand.<p>The coddling answer is to say: Oh, that sucks... maybe he doesn&#x27;t like you. And that may be true. But it may also be a cause of you needing to work harder&#x2F;longer, more efficiently, less mistakes, etc...  we can assume there is always a nefarious reason but it is just as likely that there are very real performance reasons for the raise.<p>I&#x27;m sure there are people out there who have worked alongside people that are lazy and get paid just the same, and it irks them. That isn&#x27;t fair. Pay should always be based upon performance.
