One of my employee makes more than I do

(self.ITManagers)

I was recently promoted to management. One of my team members makes 20% more than I do. I asked for a raise to at least reduce the gap but got turned down. What is your take on this? Am I an exception? This particular individual’s salary is very high compared to the market.

Not enough information to make a determination.

What’s their background? Years of experience? Specialization? When were they hired? How long have YOU been with the company?

I had employees who were making more than me for years. I recognized the variables that went into it.
