As a supervisor, I can tell you that this happens all of the time, and to those of you who think that the time you spend on the job equates to more pay, you're wrong. It is about performance, background, experience, etc. The surest way to irritate an employer is to ask for a raise because someone else is making more than you. There could be viable reasons for that. Instead ask your employer for an evaluation and design a performance plan for the near future. Ask them point blank to describe what you need to do to get a raise.
