Woman Gets Lower Pay With Her Promotion

TikToker @cyberspacekelly, also known as Kells, was shocked to find that her promotion came with a pay cut. In a recent video, she claims her HR department said they had overpaid her when they hired her, and the “mistake” was corrected when she was promoted. Even though she now has more work responsibilities, her pay decreased by two dollars an hour. “I live paycheck-to-paycheck, nonetheless, in Boston, so it’s extremely hard and I feel like I need a second job now,” Kells said. According to her video comments, she’s not the only one with this problem. “Promotion with a pay decrease is happening to me rn, And I’m trying so hard to keep it together,” one viewer wrote.
