Comparing Pay...

Recently though, it was discovered that these new guys, who I am having to train up, are earning over double my hourly rate!! As you can imagine, I'm quite furious!!!

I'll say something else silva: you should have been delighted, not furious. The worst thing to find out is that you're a lot more expensive than everybody else, because you know the daggers will be out for you. You've just discovered there's much more cash in the system than you thought. You should be swallowing your pride and rubbing your hands in glee at this new possibility.

silva,

Can I ask how u found out. Did the new chumps brag about their rate? (people lie about their rates or talk them selves up to seem superior sometimes)

Or did u see it in writing (like their invoices etc)?

1 of them left their terms of contract on their desk and I saw it - also hear them discussing between themselves their rates...

Very true, and I think I have calmed down a bit now and am thinking of the potential gains I can make out of this situation.
