Yep! Case in point: my team lead in a certain department truly disliked me, shouted at me "**** OFF YOU *****!" (for no logical reason-- she's legit crazy), causing me to get taken out of that department to prevent further issues. Well, that was a pg 13, and I was then moved to a position which was a pg 5, and I lost $0.50/hour, despite that not being my fault or issue at all. So yes, they will cut your pay if you move to a lower paygrade, lol.
