I've considered demoting as the expectations for team leads continue to become more absurd in addition to the stress not being worth the pay. My question is, is there a limit to how much you can lose per hour when stepping down from team lead? I've been told one can't lose more than $3 per hour when demoting. Obviously, you would lose the team lead increase which I would expect.
I'm in a unique situation in that I received a promotion to team lead before transferring to a new store. I was a floating team lead not designated over any area for a few months before transferring to the new store after they found me a position. I initially complained that I wasn't receiving any type of compensation for the increased travel distance which was my own fault, I suppose, for not thinking through the decision to transfer. Upon arriving at said new store, I received an additional $_/hour increase to bring my pay to be more in line with the other team leads in the building. I was told I couldn't receive an increase in pay for travel but that the increase was to level me out with the others that had been in position considerably longer. Didn't make sense to me, but obviously I didn't argue. Didn't feel I should be brought closer to their pay just because mine was considerably less than everyone else's in the building who had been leads for 5 + years. However, I digress.
My main concern is, would I lose the $_/hour pay bump to bring me in line with other TLs in addition to the $/hour increase for team lead promotion? If so, that would be well over a $6/hour decrease which would certainly not be worth demoting.
Any help from anyone with HR knowledge would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
