Her husband also didn’t see the issue with the unclear salary terms and said it was normal to accept additional responsibilities before having a salary review.
“I just didn’t know because I am too young and have never been promoted since I job hop too much,” her husband added.
But honestly, she thought that was just an old-school way of thinking– implying that she needed to work hard for free while hoping she would be rewarded.
She had already done that at her first two jobs, too, and that’s why she ended up quitting those positions.
“All it does is tell them you’re cheap and gullible!” she vented.
Still, her husband just called her naive and claimed she was being way too idealistic.
So now, she has been left wondering whether declining the promotion was actually a jerky thing to do or not.
Should you ever take a job or promotion without the terms clearly defined in writing? Since it’s her job, was the decision ultimately up to her? Can you understand why she rejected the promotion? Does her husband have a right to be angry, especially since their combined salary is already quite high?
