Ouch, IMO - I wouldn't have said anything.

You basically have 3 options in my opinion:

1. Add value (essentially sell yourself more so people can see what you
bring to the table), so you can justify more money.

2. Don't put up with it, and go somewhere else that will pay you what you
want.

3. Obviously, do nothing and go back to work.


I would honestly recommend that you do a combination of the first 2
options. Don't stay somewhere that you aren't happy.
