Not only the pay differential but Debbie was hired with a supervisor role which the 2 LPN’s lacked to abide by. The LPN’s looked at Debbie as if she were a peer rather than a supervisor.
Debbie is choosing to look for work elsewhere because the equity is not balanced at the organization that she is at.
