Promoted, Overworked, and Underpaid—Should I Go Back? 😩

I never thought a promotion could feel like a trap, but here I am. Seven months ago, I was promoted from a tough production job—one that most people can't even handle—to a Process Warehouse Lead. Now, I do almost everything the old supervisor did, except approve time off or fire anyone. The catch? I was told I'd have to prove myself before getting a raise. Fast forward to today, and new hires in my old job are making $1-4 more per hour than I do now, in a higher position! My boss admits it's unfair and says he's trying to get me a raise, but nothing's changed. If I try to go back to my old job, management will be furious and block me. So, I'm stuck—more stress, less pay, and no way out. Has anyone else been in this mess? What would you do if you were me? I'm desperate for advice! 😔 #WorkplaceStruggles #PromotionProblems #CareerAdvice #JobCareer
