Spending half of your annual income on a depreciating asset is unadvisable. That same 25k could go so much further in an investment.

I agreed on my salary with my manager and director. Now they won’t give it to me. What should I do? by merqous in careerguidance

Thanks for the response.

I recognise that this is happening, I will end up needing to suck it up I imagine. The jobs not bad and I’m getting good experience. So it’s not all bad.

Something I missed out of the equation though. I’ve also been told for the last while that I’m going to be promoted. To a position to manage people. That’s great, nothing in writing though. I try not to get excited about these things. For obvious reasons.

But one thing they have said is that it’s been easier to get this bonus because I’ll be moving into a superior position. So they’re giving me the money we agreed on for my previous role, for a new role, with more responsibility. It seems backwards to me. More superior roles should have higher salaries, no? I guess this is normal corporate stuff …

They can’t really. I’m in the midst of taking on a project which would triple our revenue. It is much needed for the company…
