The story below is an account of a frustrated employee. The original poster (OP) had been employed by the same company for over a year. A few weeks ago, OP's managers approached him and said they would like to give him a greater role within the company. However, even with the kind offer, they added that they were interested in lowering his pay for the duration of the project rather than raising it due to budgetary restrictions. OP was offended by this disrespectful offer and promptly called management to let them know how he felt.

Having said that, be sure to read the story below if you're interested in learning the specifics of what happened between OP and his supervisors and how they sugar-coated the offer!
