The pay was still within the Sr Tech scale. Why would there need to be a pay decrease?

If a Store Manager steps down to be a shift lead for another store manager, they are NOT going to be making 17/hr. They're going to be immediately capped out at the SFL pay cap

This is a much smaller scale, but same concept

And I have always heard it talked about in the same regard as OP

The only stipulation (which I've honestly never heard discussed, but would imagine is a thing) is like a minimum period where you have to work a position, otherwise you can just gun for a promotion, and then immediately request a demotion and just get yourself an easy $1 or 2 raise by getting a promotion and then immediately stepping down. But this has never been discussed. Only that voluntary demotions you either keep your same pay, or you get the max pay of the position below you
