I'm on the outside looking in, but I'm just curious how others would handle it if you were my friends.

I'd go work at Starbucks

I just had a bad LSAT flashback.

I'd like to buy a vowel, Pat.

The explanation of who everyone is read like the most confusing "If L has 3 watermelons and D only has one watermelon" type math question EVER.

HOLD ON.

I'll change to fake names. Gah, you are needy.

No, I wouldn't report someone else's alleged extramarital affair to HR.

[zoomzoom]

I would stay completely out of the situation. How are you involved in this?

This is what it comes down to. 

But I still don't know who has how many watermelons.

Rita has all the watermelons. ALL OF THEM.

she's thinking about where Rita is getting more money "because she has family" part. Isn't that illegal?

I would stay out of it. HR likely is already aware that R makes more than D...they likely had to approve the pay rate. I guess this is somewhat job/industry specific, but people make different pay rates for a number of reasons. Maybe R is making more money because they slept with the boss, or maybe because they have some credential or experience that D doesn't have or doesn't know about. Or they are just a better negotiator. Either way, this isn't something to report to HR unless they want to look petty.

I suppose if they are still sleeping together, that is more of an HR issue...but again not D's business. I'd stay out of it if I were D.

Linda doesn't really factor in here.

Stupid and Rita are sleazes. Darcy should look for a new job.

[floridakat]

What on earth would she report? That two of her current coworkers slept together years ago, before becoming employed at their current jobs? Or that she thinks a coworker is being paid too much because she slept with said coworker years ago?

And I don't think asking for a raise after seven months "because D makes more than I do" is going to fly.

Ohhhh, I am way on the outside. I don't even know the two people sleeping with each other. I know the other two and we were having a drink last night. They were talking about it. I'm not saying SHIT.

Linda is worried about her job since everyone left and she's getting questioned. And she definitely does not want to go to Company B now.

this was all in the last year. Sleezy Trip, Stupid left, Darcy followed right after. 


Seriously, I was just sitting there going "WTF is going on?"

[shell24]

Well, Linda is doing the right thing.  Keeping her nose down and just doing her job.  
It sucks that Darcy knows how much Rita makes, and it sucks, but she needs to stay out of it.  She was obviously happy with the salary enough to accept the job.  If this has soured her, she needs to just start looking for a new job and get away from everyone.

Was S responsible for setting the salaries upon hire? And is there a written record of this somewhere?

He was in charge of salary setting, no idea about records.

If Darcy accepted the salary, she really has no reason to complain that someone else is making more than her unless it's documented and able to be easily proven that the reasoning is actually related to Rita having a family.

I know I didn't negotiate well enough in my role - it sucks that people get paid more than me, but it's life.

It sounds like these people like the drama.

Darcy does like the drama, I think. 
Linda just doesn't want anything to affect her job.
