Note that I don't live in the US
I'm a salaried worker but it's a low salary. At my job I have been working the second longest out of everyone and the only one who has been there longer than me is planning on leaving (not for problems with the work, he just has bigger aspirations in a different sector entirely). I was quasi-promoted in the sense that they made a new position for me, but outside the usual promotion track to managerial level and without a pay raise. It came with far better hours (in theory) and more responsibilities. What this implies to me is that I may now be out of the line of promotion because I'm on a new deadend track. But that's not the real problem here. the problem is the responsibilities. I have no problem with these responsibilities, but I do have a problem with the fact that I'm only given an 8 hour window to do at least 10 hours of work. This means I by default can never do a good enough job, which I think will reflect badly on me and keep me from any kind of raise or advancement
