Today, my brat of a coworker tried to convince our boss that I should get paid half of what I'm making because I broke my right arm. I'm left-handed, broke it on the job, and still doing a better job than her. She makes double what I do. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my best friend went to my boss and offered to do my job for half the pay. FML
Today, I found out that the airhead sitting next to me at work who can't get anything done on her own, makes more money than I do. FML
Today, after six months of doing the job of 2 people, because all my coworker does is sleep and sit down with her phone, I told my boss that I can't be doing my coworker's job and getting the same salary as her. My boss added just $10 to my salary and told me to let her carry on doing nothing, while I still do the work of 2 people. FML
Today, my left-handed boss needed PC help. I said "right-click for the menu." She said nothing happened. Three times we went through this. Eventually I went over, asking her to show me what she did. She was using her right hand on the left mouse button. She earns £10,000 more than me. FML
Today, my coworker got a raise by making our boss give me a pay cut for doing his job while he was slacking off. As we were heading home for the day, he found $100. FML
Today, I found out someone doing the exact same job as me at work is making $900 more than me on their paycheck. The only reason is because when he messes up, he blames it on me. FML
Today, I found out that one of my subordinates, who is whiny, incompetent, undermining, the definition of passive-aggressive and stupid, was given a pay raise. She now makes more than me. My boss values a complete moron over me. FML
Today, my co-worker threw a rubber mallet at my face, and I broke my finger in the process of saving my face. She then told me to "take it up with HR, bitch". She's the HR manager. FML
Today, I found out that a coworker and I may get laid off soon, all because my boss's niece told him she can do both our jobs all by herself, and for less money. FML
Today, the person recently hired to work in my spot during my days off started at a higher hourly rate than me, after I have been here for nearly three years. I asked for a raise and got a dollar more; meanwhile, my regional counterparts make 4 dollars more per hour. FML

Talk to your boss on your behalf. Don't let them just screw you over you like that!

That's a tricky situation. You might as well fight her with one arm behind your back.

Well at less he can't do that, and you should definitely talk to your boss about this co-worker

You should start looking for other jobs because you're obviously not respected there, especially if you're doing a better job than your coworker and she's earning more than you.

Hmmmmm.... Worry about being respected or keep job and get pay check to pay bills. This is definitely a tricky one. *sarcasm*

It sounds like she can find a job with better pay if she looked. She's obviously not respected or taken seriously, and seems to be being bullied at work which makes for an unproductive environment. Best to get out before her work suffers, or politely discuss the situation with the boss and try to resolve it.

Her username is "Boss' Little Brat", so perhaps the brat and the boss are in cahoots. Perhaps both of them don't like OP, and they constantly harass her with these aggressive comments. I think it's very possible to assume OP isn't a valued or respected member of the team. It could be over something trivial like jealousy because OP is such a good worker, or OP could be difficult to work with. I highly doubt the latter though. I know times are tough, but putting yourself last isn't going to end well for you. Being in a toxic environment is harmful. Money comes and money goes, but there's only one of you, and once you're broken it's not always easy to be fixed. I say OP should look into other places to work.

Tell her to **** off and mind her own business. She can't tell your boss how much to pay you anymore than you can her.

Tell your boss that keeping your coworker there is going to cost them an arm and a leg.

"Brat" is too kind of a word for her, OP!

Maybe the other B word would be appropriate.

I suggest you arm yourself with some facts about employment law, hand them to her and give her the finger.
