I once was offered a bonus if I put in some overtime on a work assignment. So I did and they paid. Ok, come the end of the year at the normal bonus time, I was told I had already gotten a bonus.
That sucks OP, but at least your boss was honest rather than stringing you along with false promises of a raise "soon"
But that's exactly what his boss did...?
It's illegal for an employer to promise someone something and then retract it, due to promissory estoppel... That's why you should always get everything in writing
Well I'm aware that op is out of luck, it's not as if it was a real thing. I think OP took a suggestion as a set thing and therefore was thoroughly disappointed, all in all.
Next time always remember to get that kind of thing in writing.
Take his advice and start looking for a new job.
Well then leave, because either the people there are douchebags or they might go bankrupt anyway.
Statistically, people who switch jobs at least every three years tend to be paid more than people who don't switch jobs. It's always good to be looking.
