'Never gonna happen': Micromanager assigns overworked employee more responsibilities, then cuts his pay in half, leading employee to leave company high and dry

The world of business isn't always fair. People would do whatever it took to succeed and build a name for themselves in the industry. That being stated, how would you react if your employers, who were strapped for cash, decided to offer you a fake promotion along with a pay cut?

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!
