Re: More responsibilities, but no more $

I'm impressed with the level of analysis going on over this dilemma.  I'm a 
stickler for employer consistency, and interpret reneged promises as a 
violation of the work contract, but it's interesting to see how many folks 
would not jump immediately to that judgement.

I think in the long run, this behavior speaks negatively to the company's 
basic philosophy.  Integrity is an important ingredient in the work 
relationship, and where it does not exist, it undermines the basic 
credibility of the company.  The willingness to tolerate bad-faith promises 
signals a corporate culture where the ends justify the means, where workers 
are expendable commodities, and where manipulating employees unfairly to 
achieve corporate ends is an accepted business tool.

That said, most corporations have flaws and/or unethical executives, so I 
can still agree with those members who suggest that you evaluate the 
motivations, look for alternative compensation, get legal counsel, and find 
another job before you dump these doodoos.
