The question is whether Seth&#x27;s work is undervalued or if your work is overvalued.<p>If Seth was making $75k, how much you&#x27;re make is irrelevant to whether that&#x27;s the number that he was looking for for his skillset.<p>You could consider the company overvaluing your work a bad signal, but I don&#x27;t get how that translates to Seth should make even more money than you (Company&#x27;s made one bad judgement, so should now make two bad judgements?)<p>EDIT: I understand the sentiment though. It&#x27;s kind of childish (&quot;why does he get more pasta than me??&quot;) but I think most humans are affected with it. I think the feeling is one of wanting to be worth more than others... I have a hard time justifying it on a moral level.
