Dear geezmk38,
You have not specified the field for these juniors. In most organisations, freshers taken through campus will be put through a special training program spanning from 6 months to 18 months and are consciously paid higher salary than lateral recruitments.
And always always remember you are an HR professional. As part of your job, you do come across confidential salary data. Remember your job is to use this data for record purposes and make MIS reports when required. This data is not to be personally used by you in any way for comparison purposes with other employees. How would you like it if someone came and told you they know what salary you are getting? Its disconcerting right?
All well meaning advisors, please do not misguide Geezmk38. Im sure many managers will not appreciate their juniors coming to them with salary issues on the basis of confidential data, especially if you have official access to that data. In a company with strict norms, the person may even lose his job for compromising on data.
I agree with Mr. jkumarjk. You should concentrate on your job and look at becoming a seasoned HR professional in your career. Dont let your mind waver with these small issues. Eventually, competency and hardwork will pay off. You can see yourself a few years down the line with a higher comp than these juniors. Remember us then. All the best..
