I recently came back to a job because I left for a company with poor upper management but gained a lot out of my experience there.

Well yesterday I finally see my boss and they tell me I’m not getting a raise, according to the company, moving into the full time position that has company benefits is the “real raise.” The kicker is I have to pay for the benefits.
