The company I previously worked at advertised a position to work alongside me at my same level doing the same work, the salary being offered was 50% higher than my salary at the time.

I took this to my manager and all he had to say was "there's nothing I can do, I don't set these things"

It's downright insulting to see this kind of behaviour.

They were obviously discriminating against you. Equal pay for equal work, right?
