My boss promised me if I took a pay cut last year then he would give me a massive raise this year but he never did!
My boss told me that he couldn’t afford to pay me the full amount I wanted but once they got the finances sorted out this year then he would pay me even more than I wanted.
So I stayed with this company for another year then he told me he still couldn’t pay me the amount he promised!
He told me the work I did last year wasn’t showing that I deserved the larger salary. I tried to explain to him that it was a team effort and everyone else on my team was slacking but he wouldn’t listen!
When I threatened to quit he said if I stayed a couple more months he could help me get a job with the salary I wanted at their other branch.
So I stay for another 4 months and nothing happens. So I ask him when’s the move coming and he says someone already took the position!

- Fool me once, whatever. Fool me 3 times, good job.
- It was very foolish of OP to take the pay cut in the first place. Even if you get the raise your still out the money you would have made and it’s a wash at best. Boss sounds like a dirtbag but knew exactly what he was doing
- Get everything in writing next time. Your boss saved money and hate to say it, used your naïveté against you.
- You unfortunately learned the hard way: If it’s not in a contract, it doesn’t exist. Don’t accept promises from bosses without written contractual proof.
- So anyway, if you send me $1,000 I will happily double it and send you $2,000 back.
- Iam sorry but you fell for the okie doke.thanks for sharing your story hopefully it helps someone to avoid the same mistake.
