This paycheck covers the period from March 8 through the 21. So, at the very least, it should include one week of increased pay if there were a raise involved at all.
I was pretty sure it wouldn't come with a raise. I'm just really irritated that I was right.
So you were told three months ago that you were getting a promotion, and at no point during that time did it occur to you to ask what it entails and how much additional money it's worth? How is it a promotion if you're not getting paid any more? How did that conversation even go?
"Hey Alio, we've been very impressed with your progress here at Acme Products and we have a vacancy coming up in the management team. We'd like you to take on this additional responsibility starting March 15th."
"Great, thanks. What are the package details?"
"March 15th. Don't forget. Start doing more stuff. And congratulations again."
