Offered a promotion with an $18k pay cut
Offered a promotion with an $18k pay cut
Stability, Time Off, and Coworkers
I was offered a promotion from a Technician to Manufacturing Operations Manager. The job posting on Workday and the first offer letter said I would be promoted to a Grade 005, but the salary offered an $18k pay-cut from last year's earnings as a Technician. When I mentioned the large pay discrepancy to HR/Hiring Manager, they then said I would actually be a Grade 003, and they needed to resend a new offer. When I told them I applied for a Grade 005 position, the Hiring Manager then stated Grade 005 and Grade 003 have the same pay rate (~$71k), so it actually doesn’t matter. This is unbelievably shady, unprofessional, and dishonest business practice from one of the “Best Places To Work”. Truly disappointed and demotivated after landing what I thought was a dream job.
Stop smothering your technicians with abstract grade levels and transferral/promotion policies. Facebook is recruiting technicians for +40/hr, and you’re giving out pay cuts for promotions.
