Drew a line in the sand with one of the owners of my company last month. Was passed over for a promotion for a director position because I am "too valuable" to the client and project that I am on. I told him I figured as much and knew I would not be promoted. I also told him that the benefit to he and our client could not cost me money and promotion. He asked if I wanted an assistant title and I let him know that cash would suffice and that I expected to be compensated as a director.
He erased my line in the sand yesterday with a beautiful check, details of a contribution to my retirement, and my raise percentage. A good group of guys that kept their word. The other partner was almost speechless when I called him on my way home to tell him thank you. His response was that getting my call to show my appreciation was worth the money. Not a bad Monday.
I would agree with the others, if this continues to happen, you need to fire your boss. Document everything until then.
