Employer changing my job duties without pay increase. Difference of 80k between the two titles.. Any advice on my options?

I was hired for a support role this past summer but now they want me to spend 50% of my time as an unofficial solutions architect because “doing support work isn't enough” (translation: we need work done for cheap) Glassdoor average compensation for my company: my current title: 140k (I make 152k) new title: 220k I am already qualified for the new position. They tout it as career growth but I intentionally took several steps backwards in my career for this job so I don't know what growth they think I want. I'm planning to present the following options to my manager: 1) Give the project to someone else (eg, the senior solutions architect they assigned to help me, like wtf?). This is my ideal outcome. 2) Give me a 25% raise. This would be ~40k which I figure is reasonable since I'm meant to spend half of my time…

Lol, this ‘job posting’ on my Nextdoor. This dude has no job description, no pay information, and will only discuss the job in person. And had a cow when he was called out.

Fuck “Entry Level” Jobs

I just spent the better part of a month and a half interviewing for an “entry level” job, which then sent a generic “go fuck yourself” email. I sent a gift, interviewed with four different people. All for a job that's base salary is $50,000. Call me crazy, but an entry level job should not require four fucking interviews to make barely enough to survive in the North East.

Taking advantage of work from home?

So what are some good ideas to take advantage of working from home? Currently I am looking for remote work and I may have gotten a new job lined up for me if I get it. I know it would just be easy to find a minimal effort remote job where you get to watch Netflix and gaming most of the work day. But I have thought about doing some online college courses or learn other online classes that I can use to help me get a better remote job during company time. What are some other ideas to take advantage of remote working?

So I got sent to work an hour early because everyone did the job quick, and that got me thinking: I’m not gonna get paid that hour I didn’t work, and that needs to change.

If you get sent sent home early because all of your work is literally done, and not because you got in trouble, then you should GET PAID FOR THAT ENTIRE DAY. Why should WE the workers suffer financial consequences if we did the job right and quickly? It's not the worker's fault the company was disorganized that day, didn't anticipate a fast job that day, and didn't have enough for US to work. why are we the ones suffering because we missed an hour of work as a result of doing the job FAST, or because of their little blunder? That needs to become a law.

Could we give a shout out to the therapists in this sub?

Just wanted to say thank you for listening to us and guiding us through traumatic experiences (aka, life) despite dealing with your own grief. You are heroes.

I got a job 4 months ago with a 50% pay increase. I’m accepting another job next week with another 20% pay raise

Boomer acquaintances tell me it is a bad look to jump jobs so soon but why wouldn't I move to another job that pays me more? The pay is the only reason I work. I hate that we are expected to stay at a job for 1+ years before it is “acceptable” to move on. Don't be loyal to your employers, you will only get taken advantage of.
