Update: 'He then said... I need to pay my dues': Employee stuns boss by turning down job with more responsibility after boss lowballs her

Should you really have to "pay your dues" in a company before moving up to a new job? This person, u/Jessicasd12, is trying to wrap her head around the concept of accepting low pay in order to rise up the ranks of her organization. 

In a story shared to r/AmItheA**hole, the OP writes that after working at a company for a year, her supervisor is planning to leave. That would leave the OP to fill her shoes, which she was excited to hear. However, the title doesn't come without a few caveats. Though the supervisor left, the OP got radio silence from her bosses about taking over the vacant position. 

The OP and her boss see the new job in two different ways, leading to a bit of conflict. After talking to people in the comments, the OP gained some perspective on the situation, and added in a few edits to update everyone. 

After that, check out these hilariously incompetent people.
