Lena has been working faithfully at the same company now for a total of nine continuous years. She always felt her extensive experience and deep loyalty were consistently valued by her management team. A few days ago, however, during a casual lunch break discussion, a younger colleague, who had only been employed there for two short years, accidentally revealed her actual salary details. The information was an absolute shock to Lena: the newer colleague was earning a staggering thirty percent more money than Lena herself. The true injustice that made Lena truly furious was the fact that she had personally spent months carefully training the junior colleague for the role, knowing Lena was clearly the more productive and faster worker.
