For me, I’d been an Assistant Manager for about 4 years at a place. Solid but not fantastic job. Good hourly rate. I was offered a General Manager position, at what WOULD have been about a 15% pay increase…if they had been honest about the amount of hours it required. In reality, I never worked the 45 hours a week they said. Usual was around 60, and that’s not counting all the stuff I dealt with after hours. I would do payroll and routinely find that per hour, I was the lowest paid employee per hour, since I had moved to salary. I’d get maybe one completely uninterrupted day off ever 2 months. I developed anxiety issues, feeling my heart rate skyrocket any time my phone went off after hours. Could be a friend, could be a work issue that meant I had to cancel plans and drive in on my off time. (My old position was one that work got left at work) What about you all? What seemed like a step up but was actually a step back? submitted by /u/PhoenixApok
