Got Promoted To Senior - Now I Make Less Money
After vying for a promotion and letting awesome opportunities pass me by while waiting for the promised bump, my total compensation has decreased.
At the same time that they bumped my salary 5k, they took away a $500 monthly bonus from my comp. Totaling 6k/year.
I worked my ass off for the promo and I got it, but it came with a serious catch - a compensation decrease of 1k annually.
Just wondering, has anyone else ever gotten a “promotion” with a caveat of less total compensation? Or am I just that unlucky?
