Sorry in advance if this isn't the right sub for this.
In August of 2018 I was offered an upper management position at the small company I work for. I was previously in a middle management role and am now overseeing the entire company (~40 employees).
Upon making this offer, the owner of the business did not initially provide additional compensation. After about 2 months of working my butt off and proving myself, I was given an offer to transition from hourly pay to salary. I was not offered any additional benefits, and although I'm salaried I do not get any of the common perks of being salaried such as schedule flexibility - in fact I still am expected to punch in and out and work set hours every day.
At the time I was offered salary I calculated what it translated to in hourly pay going off of a 40-hour work week, but I am now expected to work a minimum of 45 hours per week and usually clock around 48 hours per week on average.
I just realized my fuck up and did the math based off of a 45 or 48 hour work week, and with the hours I'm averaging I actually took a pay decrease compared to what I'd be getting with overtime pay at my previous hourly rate. I have a shitload of responsibilities compared to my old position and again I got zero additional benefits. Needless to say, I'm furious.
My boss can be kind of an airhead so I wouldn't be surprised if he didnt even realize this, but he also treats his employees like crap so he might have been well aware of the fact that he was screwing me over.
Can I dispute this now? How do I bring up the conversation? Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!
