Hey, #4- screw you. Promotion means getting higher in the chain, which kinda implies a higher wage.

Dude same thing here. It's brutal

It probably has a high pay grade and you have a chance to make more money which is why they call it a promotion bullsh** but that is how it works sometime. You should demand some sort of raise or something

promotion means more power and authority not necessarily more money.

I've received a promotion without a raise before...it's about what power you have, not what you get paid...

HA. Been there. More work, same pay. It's a killer.

A promotion means more power
A raise means more money
Companies generally never want to give both out at once

LOL THATS HILARIOUS

Promotions don't always mean a raise, but hey you don't need me to tell you that anymore now do ya. :)

#13 - On 07/24/2009 at 3:14am by div01

that's no fun if you don't get more money

#16 - On 02/24/2010 at 2:18am by Mattsta123

the promotion is you don't have to keep sucking up to the big man for a promotion... but still?! your boss is a dick. FYL.
