Was hired for $16/hr, a few days later I get an email notification of a “wage change” and now it’s $13.25…

Yeah, title says it all really. Offer letter said $16 at my new job, and then suddenly after they did my background check that apparently got held up despite not having any felonies or anything on record I suddenly get a new email saying I have a notice of a wage change on my whatever-they-call-it bogus website portal they're using for their employees. Is this just a normal thing now? I've had this happen once before where an old (almost) employer baited me for a job at $17/hr and then reduced it to $14/hr in a meeting we had when I walked in on my first day. I walked right out after that. Is this becoming a common thing nowadays to bait employees into a higher wage before lowering it?
