I asked for a document and was inadvertently sent my information - along with the rest of my coworkers and my managers. It’s eveyones salary and commission structure, so I was rather surprised that I make considerably less then my counterparts. I cannot get over it and it irritates me to no end but I have no idea what to do. In some cases the pay difference is $20,000 and more. I want to ask why, but don’t want to get fired :/
Also: I’m the top sales rep for two years, bill a quarter of the companies yearly revenue, mange other tasks, am the only person with a BA, and 10+ year experience. There is legally no discernible difference between me and them that would put them in a higher pay bracket then me. FYI.Thanks for anyone’s input!! I still make more than everyone and before everyone says well why are you bitching it’s only because of my sales commission and that’s not fair that they would get higher base salary and they don’t even bring in what I bring in. 😫

I think the question was better before the edit. The second paragraph’s rant:relevance ratio is a bit skewed

I might suggest trimming the second paragraph and clarifying that it's not your overall pay but base salary that's different. Through commissions you seem to be recovering the difference, no?

Whether you call attention to the sender's error is your decision. I personally wouldn't, since it could only cause them to feel embarrassment about what was probably a one-off mistake.
If you feel your skills are going undercompensated, you can and should ask for a raise. The worst they can say is no, at which point you start looking for a better job (heck, you might as well start looking now).
But when you request a raise, avoid referencing your knowledge of your coworkers' pay. Instead, focus on the contributions you've made to the company. If you search this site for general questions about asking for a raise, you may find some helpful suggestions.
