Biasing in office environments

I recently joined a startup. First they were micromanaging me as I joined there after a break to see if I can actually work or not. Later when they came to know my skills and loved my work, they decided to hire one more person either a junior or equivalent to accompany me. The HR had confirmed verbally that I'll be the senior one and the person will be a junior. This didn't happen. Although they keep claiming it verbally even now they keep on favouring the junior as she is from the same place as that of the co-founders and always keeps me secondary. Have you faced this manipulation - if yes what did you do to tackle until you find another job?

To those who are curious about the pay - no they pay below market standards which makes it worse. I took the job for their false claim of having a good work culture. Not enough employees to inquire about the work culture as well. So yeah before commenting have a teaspoon of empathy!
