    I got one of these once

    We did performance reviews, my boss tells me I’m getting a promotion. “Wow, I didn’t expect that, what’s my new title?”

    After some clarification I learned no title change, no role or responsibility change, but I got a standard of living top up.

    The “promotion” meant I was meeting expectations and other people weren’t getting standard of living raises anymore. They also cut a bunch of fringe benefits at the same time. Not a good sign.

      Yeah my company does that. They’ve promised that we can get a standard of living adjustment but also at the same time they point blank refusing to give us it until December. Because they know that everyone will leave if they don’t do that.
