<prompt> Human: I recently transitioned from a salaried position to a temporary hourly position due to some restructuring. During the months leading up to the discussion, I asked my supervisor will there be any change in pay?. He told me No, well have you working 40 hours, so the take-home pay should be the same. I asked him directly at least twice on two separate occasions. The hourly pay didnt change at all. I made the mistake of not getting it in writing, I trusted my supervisors word. Fast forward to last week, and Im told that, while youre approved for 35 hours apparently it was never going to be 40, wed like you to only work 20. This was unexpected, and represents about a 40 reduction in hours, and a 40 reduction in pay.I dont have much recourse on this, but I am meeting with him next week for another topic. Id like to address this change with him. I plan to get any agreements in writing, but is there anything else I should say or do?Update: I talked to my boss yesterday. I was able to negotiate to 30 hours per week. Its not quite where I need to be, but its better considering the circumstances. Apparently the grant they have me on is running out of money and they told me that theres no guarantee after August. Im definitely going to continue to look for other jobs, as this job seems terminal.Assistant: Find a place that will give you the hours and pay that you need. Dont sit around and wait to see if things will change on their own. Human: Leaving is a matter of when not if at this point. I just dont want to burn bridges in the process.  <response>: They already did.
