This has something to do with what Jon said. I always have a difficult time giving different amount of raises. Then, there are employees that simply just out perform others staff members. On top of that, there are employees that have jobs where they have a much better opportunity to "look good" than another. An MA who is running patients, answering triage calls, doing all the ordering, giving shots, etc. can appear to or actually does work harder than a receptionist. Then again, I guess you could look at it like the receptionist knew when she applied for the job that she would not only start at a lower wage but would likely not have higher pay raises.
