This describes me in the past. Don&#x27;t let him date someone from HR, it opens up Pandora&#x27;s box about relative value and standard practices with salary negotiation. The largest factor for salary at most companies is how much you ask for rather than your skills or contributions.<p>However there may be other things he values besides money. Continue to make those great and I&#x27;m sure he will continue to enjoy being your coworker.
