My girlfriend was promoted TWO weeks ago. This new position is one step below store manager and she was on track to be the youngest store manager at her current rate of promotion. Well, she just found out today that her new position is getting cut. Her company will not let her have her old job back. Instead, they have offered her a part-time job, 1/3 her current salary. She also looses her health insurance because she will no longer be a full time employee. If she doesn't take this part-time job, she has been told that she will not be eligible for unemployment.
If she had not been such a motivated hardworking person, she would have kept her old job and not have to worry about getting laid off. So much for being rewarded for hard work. What a bunch of assholes. You would think that they would have just not have filled the new position.
