Getting Paid Less Than Co-Workers
I’m getting paid far less than my co-workers who are doing comparable work as me, based on $ figures that have been shared with me voluntarily. This is true for both TC and base. Is this something I can address with my manager? Or do I just bite my tongue and work hard for a natural pay raise?
Yeah in the same boat. While I don't exactly know how much they earn... Based on my yoe, I was low balled way down. I know I can't change much, but would like to know how others have dealt with it.

1. Ask manager for a raise. You will likey be asked why you deserve one. 2. Get an offer from elsewhere. This helps your manager make a case to HR.
It happens often. Best recourse is to interview externally and better negotiate this time. Unless you are in a mum and pop shop, there is often not much your manager can do.
Also keep in mind discussing and revealing compensation with coworkers is a legally protected act, and if your manager tries retaliating, that is illegal.
Do you happen to know where this protection is detailed? It’s against IBMs business conduct guidelines and people are very serious about it here.
OP, you are comparing your work with what you think your coworker’s work is. You don’t have full visibility of their work, you don’t fully know their background, you don’t know the interview results. So no - you don’t use this as a leverage. Only your impact and importance are valid for raise. So use this as a motivation, work hard, grow, and if they don’t appreciate this in a form of raise, leave for greener pastures
Manger already knows you are paid less. It’s his job to give appropriate raises. I would find a job elsewhere.
This. The manager definitely knows. They signed your offer letter and any yearly raise adjustments
If they didn't pay you before, why would they pay you now?
Now I’ve shown my work ethic and ability - I would like to believe that provides support for a boost in pay
