Not sure what to do
I recently found out that a colleague of mine is making more than me but has been working at our company for less time than me and doesn't have as many years of experience. I asked for a raise during my review in December and it was denied because my boss said I was already earning a fair amount for the work I'm doing but now that I know my coworker is earning more should I ask again? And if I ask again should I tell them that I know how much my coworker is making or should I not say anything?

Determining a fair amount for work requires understanding market rates, negotiating a mutually beneficial compensation, and considering several factors such as skill level, experience, and job complexity.

This is a tricky one; sometimes we obtain information that we are not sure we really wanted.
In my experience nothing good comes from using arguments around what other gets nor do I believe the length of time one has been in the company or role really matter (assuming that he/she is brand new). I recommend to focus on ones market value and the performance. You should have clear targets and objectives on what is expected you need to deliver and both during the year and at the end of the year, you can follow up together with your manager. I also think it's valid to ask, what would it take to be exceeding expectations and be a candidate for a raise.
Good luck :-)

Thank you for your advice. It's true, I keep thinking how I wouldn't be so frustrated if I never found out my colleague's salary. I am going to ask my manager what I can do to get a raise in the future, I'm just worried they'll say no again.
