Today, I got a new title at work. My boss hyped it up and made it sound amazing, so I accepted. Come to find out it pays 20k less a year and is twice as much work. FML

Today, I was forced into accepting a "promotion" for a position that pays less than what I get right now. FML

Promotion, huh?

Today, I was promoted. After going to school for 10 months to get certified for the new position, training extensively, and taking on a ton more responsibility, I was hoping for a decent raise. How much do my bosses think all of that time and effort is worth? One dollar more per hour than I made before. FML

Today, I resigned from my job in favor of a higher-paying one. After I filled out and filed the necessary papers, my boss told me that I had been nominated to replace him when he retired in a month. His job pays at least twice what I'm now making. Thanks for telling me, asshat. FML

Today, my boss found out I had applied for a much better paying job. He told me I'd do a better job and make more money there. Then he fired me. FML

Today, I found out I'm getting a pay cut, a week after I told my boss I need a raise or second job just to afford bills. I made the company 10k last week. FML

Today, I got a promotion to management at work. My employer decided to give the 'non-management' employees a really nice raise. Which means the job I had before my promotion is now paying more than the job I have now. Did I just get demoted? FML

Today, I once again got less than 20 hours of work for the entire week. My boss's solution? Double the staff. FML

Do as you're told

Today, I was demoted at work to a much harder and more time-consuming position because, I quote, "You have more experience." My boss is now telling the others I volunteered to be moved to the lower position. FML

Today, I discovered my employer is advertising for a contractor position within my team performing basically the same role as myself. Except the pay is seven times more. FML

Today, I got a raise at work. It will bring my hourly wage to about a cent more per hour. Our CEO just reported record-breaking profits for the year. FML

Sorry you got suckered into such position. However, I still voted YDI cuz it's an internal recruitment and you should have held out till you knew all the facts. Especially the pay part.

Yeah, probably should have asked for more details. YDI.

He was able to hype a demotion so well that you went for it? Is his degree from Trump University?

Is the tittle "Senior Executive Booger Picker Upper"? If so, I understand why you didn't ask for details before switching. Just because it has "Senior" or "Executive" in the title, doesn't guarantee it's a promotion or there's a salary raise.

Didn't you read the job specification before going for it?

My first question is always "HOW MUCH?" How could this happen to you?

They could create a position like “toilet manager” and expect employees not reading the job descriptions and go for that “fancy” “managerial” position. YDI
