Alice has been an engineer at Company XYZ for a decade. David is a brand-new hire; also an engineer. They do the same type of work in the same department.
One day, Alice accidentally discovers that David is paid substantially more than her, despite having much less experience and longevity. When she confronts HR about it, HR says that it’s because the budget for new hiring is substantially looser than the budget for salaries for existing/current employees, since it takes little to keep current employees around, but it takes hefty salaries to lure new folks in.
Alice is outraged and demands an immediate salary raise to at least David’s level, if not higher.
- Alice is right

You’ve been waiting for awhile in a long line to get into an entertainment venue. A man walks up and gets in line, a half-dozen people or so ahead of you. He does so, having spoken to someone there who’s apparently a friend but, from body language and what little you can hear, not someone whom he’d planned on meeting there. What do you do?
- I say nothing; I’m a little bothered, but not enough to do anything
- I say nothing but quietly seethe
- I politely say, “We’ve all been waiting in line for awhile, sir, and you really should go to the end of the line”
- I angrily say, “End of the line, pal!”
- I say nothing; I’m not bothered at all
- I try to get event staff or a cop involved to remove the jerk from the line
