Title says it all really. Been working in this place for 4 years now, started as a cleaner and worked my way up to a new admin position. Always been underpaid but stuck around because the job was convenient and I'd always had the promise of working my way up.
After I asked for a pay rise/better title from my previous manager and was told I couldn't I applied for a new opportunity within the company for a 5K pay increase that would allow me to gain better skills and promised putting me through a professional course (never happened btw). I've been doing this for the last 4 months now and have just been told that they don't feel the role is necessary anymore so they've offered to either put me back to my previous role or a different one on the same team for slightly more money than I made previously but much less than the salary I've been on the last few months.
I've told my employers I'm not signing anything until after I speak to my Union, and my Union have said they're going to see if I'm entitled to pay protection.
I'm absolutely sick of this. The amount of shit I've put up with for this company in the hopes of increased salary eventually and training and when I finally think I'm getting it I get bumped back again. If I knew this would have been the case 6 months ago I would have been applying to other jobs instead. Time to work on my CV now instead, I guess.
