Not sure is the right sub for this but here it goes.
I currently have been working 40 hours per week in my current position for about a year and a half now. It is a salary position. I applied for an opening for a higher position. During the interview process my manager said the newer position had a higher workload so he'd be expecting me to put in more hours than my typical 40 per week.
I got the job offer and on paper it looked like a nice raise but it was still well below what I was asking. I asked about it and they said this was all they were able to offer me. I figured a raise is a raise so I took it and signed it. This doesn't go into effect until Monday.
The excitement wore off and I decided to do the math today. I broke it down and even just working 1 more hour per day to make it 45 hours per week, my hourly pay would be over a dollar less than what it is now. My current position is less responsibility and I'm not necessarily expected to work more than 40 hours per week because I can get everything done that I need to.
I'm planning to bring this up to my manager tomorrow to express my concern. Has anyone had a similar experience and how they handled it with their manager or recommendations as to how i should handle it?
Is my signing the offer letter binding me to take it?
Thanks in advance for anyone's help
