I don't have any details, that is just what I assumed from posts that I stumbled upon earlier.

I have a boss who, rather than taking the logical option, knowing that keeping me on and paying me more, would make the company more money than if I were replaced, could likely take the path of less resistance and replace me anyway, because it means he can avoid a confrontation with other employees, despite this decision not being in the best interest of the company.
It's infuriating. If I say something it could jeopardise my job, but if I say nothing, my position at the company will never change. The logical option is to use the skills and experience I have to find a better job, but then I risk going into a job I do not enjoy.

This again, I want to say take the risk but I know that it would be different were I in your position. Say something, maybe not overly demanding but lay your cards on the table. Make sure your boss knows that he would be making a mistake losing you.

Yeah, this again. Well I have the ideal opportunity to say something this week. It's going to be too much hassle for him to replace me right now, so worst case situation, if it doesn't go well, at least I'll have time to find something else if I don't get the right response, and perhaps that wouldn't be such a bad thing. I wouldn't want to work here any more if I'm not going to be paid what I deserve.

Do you enjoy your current job?

So, its not where you would like to be. Take the risk, if it works you'll be happier, if it doesn't you won't have lost anything, if you lose your job over it, which is unlikely, then you've lost a job that you weren't being paid enough and that you weren't enjoying.

Yes. I think the smart thing to do would be to look for work now anyway, and get a head start. I can always turn down job offers if things work out, and if they don't, time to move on.
