Have you accepted a promotion without a pay raise?

[LucyGriffithsdotcom]

Oh this is a nightmare and it's scary how often this actually happens to people. Great advice! Subscribed.

[PurplePinkRed]

This happened to me many years ago! Turns out, my manager never filed the paperwork and didn't tell head office about it! It was literally a way to get me to do more work without paying me for it 😂 Needless to say, I left the company not long after that!

[nallelzuniga]

I got 28% increase and is not enough!!!! Switching jobs is the answer

[i.alexandra]

happened to me just recently - got a promotion, no salary increase and this was after 6 months of doing a double role - sales + customer success, so I was very upset I did not get a raise. it really affected my motivation

[ProfessorHeatherAustin]

Jennifer, great tips on how to get a raise! I love to see other channels with similar content. Keep going girl!

Never to fall into this trap. Years ago early in my career I wanted to get promoted so bad. I started to take over the supervisor jobs daily tasks and thought that would promote me. Nope. My worked expected it from me for no pay increase or the job title. The job after that I was told I was getting promoted right away. I asked how much was the pay increase. I was told rudely “None”! I said no thanks. Over 9 years I saw people roped in and did the supervisor job for no increase. They would quit after 1 year or two. I am up for promotion at my new job. I already told them my past stories and they know they will have to increase my pay.

I was offered a promotion without a pay increase. I rejected the promotion and handed in my resignation letter.

Blaming people for "not effectively communicating your value" is bullcrap.

Some companies will only understand one point of leverage - "pay raise or I walk away". If those companies aren't confronted with that decision, they will keep you working till 70 years old, and you will spend that whole time communicating your value and not getting promotions with no raise.

This is the most helpful and relevant video I have seen on raises. My director did go to bat for me. The offer wasn't as much as I expected, but I asked him to help with merit and equity increases. The advice about calling dibs on the future budget is helpful. No other company would have taken me seriously if I applied for this title because it's different what I have previously done.

[zohramartini]

I have seen a 65% increase on a salary.... If someone really values you they will dig in their pockets

[Frkdsnbrd]

I just got a promotion but no raise so I am very disappointed, however, I am looking for a new job so the new title helps. The next time I'm offered promotion, I'll politely decline but say I would like to revisit the offer when it comes with a raise.

[KishaWynter]

Thanks for these tips, people wouldn't believe how often these promotions happen without an increase!!

[ohhheyhihello]

Just shocking really that employers do this.
I was promoted from a floater/helper to a LEAD teacher in charge of an entire classroom of children, only later learning it would be WITHOUT a pay increase. I was lied to in my interview completely and have handwritten notes from the day to prove it. It’s just despicable.

[EliMagidsLuxuryHomes]

Love the Real Lowdown---- Promo. without a raise is nasty. Great Advice !

[AdrianaGirdler]

Very interesting! Love that you brought up figuring out whether the person who gave you the promotion already went to bat for you. There are so many factors that can influence why you're getting the salary you're getting and it's important to understand it all. Love seeing channels with similar content to mine and hearing different takes on this. Great video!

[FollowMikeWynn]

I really like tip #3 6:11 going find out the reason. Great advice!!

[donquique]

That happened to me. Left 6 months later and took demotion for a 35 percent payraise. Life is too short.

[authorkristinealyse]

very useful information in this video! thank you for sharing :). Just subscribed!

Really interesting video. I was in a situation where I got a promotion (higher job title) without immediate raise in salary. For my case it happened automatically after one year. But what I would advise in such cases not to commit to your boss to do additional work and not to take more responsibilities. Even if you do not meet your bosse's new expectations after your promotion, always be aware that for a company it is much more expensive to get a new worker with high skils than to keep a slightly underpayed current worker, so it is unlikely they will lay you off for not meeting those too high expectations. In long term, my promotion did help to raise my salary significantly after 3 years or so, but that may not be the case for other people.

Even worse thing is if they promote you to some lower manager position without getting salary increase. This may be a situation when a person has to decline the offer since one becomes responsible of other workers, and it even has some legal implications. Other strategy could be to use the new position title to get a better payed job in other company within one year, but one should not allow himself to stay too long on underpayed position.
