I process the raises and load the numbers into the system exactly as I'm told. But when someone asks me why one role pays more than another, I have no real answer, I just know the number. It's like I'm running a machine I don't actually understand, and it makes me feel like a fraud.
More people experience this than they realize.
You handle the pay, but you don't understand the reasoning behind who earns what.
