The situation is essentially this: someone from the market just got a better deal. Maybe because of the current market situation, maybe because they are just good negotiator. How on Earth does it entitle everyone else to the pay raise? And if you think so, do you also think that when the next hire accepts an offer with less comp - everyone else should have a pay cut too?
> someone who had the same job title and the same experience
There's no such thing as the same experience. Every human being is unique, and every experience is unique too.
Anyway, getting offended without even talking to your manager, let alone just plain asking for the raise, is sooo counterproductive.
