So I got a raise at work but at the same time they've cut back our hours. So basically I'm going to be making less money than I did last year. It's only $19 less a month but still. If I hadn't gotten a raise I would be losing $150 a month because of the hours being cut back so I guess it could have been worse. Still its very frustrating. what do you think? Has anyone else had an experience like this?

Wow, that's terrible. What's the point in getting a raise if you're going to be working less and making less money? That seems kind of pointless to me. Is this supposed to last for awhile, or is it just sort of a temporary thing until issues are resolved? If so, maybe it would be worth sticking around until things get settled.

Well I work for the school board so things usually don't change for the better. I have great benefits and you can't beat the holidays so it would be very hard to leave. The situation really sucks, but it would have been worse had I not gotten the raise. When I saw I got one I was excited too, then I figured out what I would be making now and it was such a let down. Thanks for the response and sympathy.
