Sounds like you are being demoted, and yes they can

Since you went from part time to full time, you may have a little difficulty asking for an increase, but you can still do it.\n\nRemind your boss that you have been working there for a full year and you would like to request a cost of living increase. Do not recommend a percentage. I have always found when asking for an increase that if you leave it open you get more than you expected. If you provide an amount, you either get that amount or a reason for being given less.\n\nTake care and Good Luck,\nTroy

I don't believe it can be.. Well it can be but usually an evaluation is signed by both after given. So this one would show  you know longer work for this employer. I don't know if this helps..

Short answer:  Not necessarily.\n\nOften people find that they love their job after they take it up.  That's how it was for me in my current job.  There is nothing wrong with "trying on" a new type of job every once in a while; often you can't figure out if you like a particular choice until you work at it for a while.\n\n[Caveat:  don't change jobs TOO often; some employers view job-hopping as a sign of instability.]

First you must put a firm starting point.  You have to feel that if the benifits aren't up to snuff then you can ask for more, and if it's a job that you really want then you would be ok if they offer less.  But they ask for salary requirements for a reason, and that is for a starting point not to waste your or their time.

I have been in this business for five years and I made 250k last year. The year before that was 70k. The other three years were at about 25-35k. It may take you some time but it is well worth it.

The jobs you describe are mostly min wage jobs so nothing will change. Far as letting go of workers to hire other for less. I would think a company could not afford the law suits that would result from that

Generally, no. BUT, it wil ldepend on your company.\n\nIf there is a corporate pay scale, then they may adjust all scales accordingly, but not $1.70 worth. \n\nFor example, if the starting pay where you are is 5.15 and the second level is $8.00 and they raise the starting pay to 6.85, the second level may adjust to start at 9.00. \n\nit's hard to say. \n\nBut if your company does not employ minimum wage workers, then any substantial raise is HIGHLY unlikely.

I do not think that you are guaranteed a raise as far as the law goes. It has only been 6 months since you say he dropped your hours but still had the same pay so I would not push just yet. If you have good benefits and enjoy working for these people that means a lot also - very hard to find a job that you wake up everyday and enjoy going to work.

I prefer paid less with low expenses.\n\nConsider, if you lose your job, for whatever reason, and you live in an area with high expenses, you will have a harder time keeping things together until you find a new job. Whereas, if you live in an area with low expenses, you can work a lower paying job at a gas station or something, while looking for a better job. The money wouldn't be great, but you probably won't lose your house. If you live in an area where the cost of living is high... a minimum wage temporary job won't do a thing for you.

Last year I left my job that I had been at for 10 years.  Good salary, good benefits, but way too much stress.  So at 45 I started all over.  I don't make as much money, (still have good benefits though).  The fact that I'm not under any stress now means everything to me.  I'm much happier and FEEL much better.  I'm no longer in charge of anything and only responsible for what I do, not what a whole dept. does.  So if you think it will make you happier and you'll feel better, I recommend switching.

No more than every 3-5 years in you are staying the same position for those 3-5 years.  Whenever you start feeling stagnant and there are no promotion opportunities for you to pursue then you should start looking for positions elsewhere that would be the equivalent of a position at your current company (that's if you like your field and your job).

You should be more interested in the job than the money.  If it appears you are fixated with money that may take away from other personal values.

Well, it really depends on your sitution. The only way I can see it help with your Career is that your job requries it, and will pay more if you have it.

First of all are you really ready for a change? And is money the only factor you look for in an employment opportunity.\n\nAlso, think about this: Would you truly be satisfied if you made more money?\n\nYou should really think long and hard about what you want to accomplish on a new job before you leave your present one.\n\nWhen you figure out the answers to these questions you are ready to make a change......

Unfortunately this is common.  You should not be getting less pay, but it is pretty likely that you will have to work harder.  Try to stick it out for a while, and if you do not get a raise, start looking for somewhere else where you can put your experience to use and get a raise.

Not for me.  Yes--money is important.  I definitely would NOT work a "normal" 8-5 job if I didn't need the money.  I would find something I love to do and work the hours that work for me.\n\nHowever, I have taken a cut in pay twice in my life because sometimes money isn't the most important thing. I am at work longer then I am at home sometimes and I see those people more then I see my own family.  If there is major conflict that can't be resolved..I'd rather be somewhere else.  Or in my case, I knew I wanted to get into a different field and I knew I'd have to start at the bottom so i took the demotion.  In my opinion, having a  good boss that i can get a long with, and doing a job I enjoy is more important then money sometimes.
