I got a promotion. There was no raise in salary just expectations of more responsibilities. I got a $100 visa gift card. I saw that as a big fuck you. I was out as soon as I could manage.
My manager got a promotion with a hefty salary increase, then the company announced a hiring and salary freeze, then gave me a promotion with more responsibilities (some of my manager’s as well) but with the same salary.
I quited a few months later as soon as I could secure something else
That is also a giant red flag. Normally, when you are paid via some non-taxable reward, it means your “promotion” isn’t ever going to come with benefits that allow you to go climbing up the ladder. You made a good decision there.
