<prompt> Human: So i started a job that seemed like it was employee focused. Within 40 days they asked if i wanted a promotion to a new title in a different department. I took the job because i assumed it was going to come with a raise, instead i just got the extra responsibilities. They said that the promotion was a lateral move and is on the same pay scale as what i was hired for. I was just wondering if I could get some help. I just dont think its fair that they pulled that on me. I am doing a lot more work than what i was hired to do and i feel now its almost not worth it. I just wanted to get the advice of the community. I dont know what to do or say.  <response>: A promotion without a raise is very common. In large companies, its often difficult to negotiate around this because of all the structure, such as pay bands and job descriptions that they formalize around this.Ultimately, youre not being forced to work, or take the job. You can leave and look for another.If I was in your shoes, Id probably accept this and work hard for a couple months, until an opportunity presented itself for you to negotiate again, such as a review. Then you go in prepared to discuss your pay and your needs.
