How long have you been working there?

I would avoid teaming up with other junior people and approaching HR, the senior people would view this as pretty hostile... I mean you knew the comp going in, right? This is what you signed up for.

My advice is start looking for another job. Then on the way out when they ask why you're leaving, tell them its because the comp is low...
