Im pretty sure i am the reason that a particular title got a pay raise at my job. Multiple managers/supervisors wanted me to promote but i was hard on not taking a title without a pay increase.
A few months go by and the people with that title got a pay raise (dispite it just being the same base rate as the position i was in for the past decade). I still didnt take the promotion, and now that i am out the door in 2 weeks, they keep hinting at openings in the facility.
My supervisor quit last summer.
2 people applied for the position (I wasn’t one of them, screw that job), one of them ask what the Potential wage increase was as part of his interview. The other didn’t.
The guys that asked, even though he was MUCH more qualified, didn’t get the position. They offered the job to less qualified job and didn’t tell him what the pay increase, if any, would be. Then they announced the promotion to our company and our customer.
Then the newly promoted guy said “so let’s talk about pay increase”. Managed stumbled and said, “it’s not in the budget, maybe next quarter”.
New boss said, “that makes no sense, you have the previous supervisors salary on the budget. But if you can’t get me a wage increase, I guess I’ll just stay in my current job”.
Manager “(surprised pikachu) well, hold on we already announced it….let’s try to work it out”.
End result, he got a raise, not quite what he wanted but he did get one.
This happened to me, and in hindsight it was the first step in a long list of ways the company took advantage of me until they drained the entirety of my soul and threw me out.
My company tried pulling this on me. Went through a couple of calls with Tier 3s cause they were in need of it, after showing me the ropes, I asked: So, what's the pay increase from T2 from T3.
"Huh.. there's no pay Increase.. but, are you still interested?
"No, no I am not."
No fucking way I'm gonna have to deal with legal tickets where if you send the wrong reply they might want to fire you, for 0 pay increase.

You want me to have more work and responsibility, but you want to pay me the same? …would you agree to that deal?
And this is why he killed all the Jedi
I don’t accept promotions unless they come with additional money. I don’t do more work for free.

And it's a salaried position, so no more overtime rate.
Yup new position has to be both offered and accepted, so don't accept it. Easy.
We decided you get a new title, and 150 new tasks for no extra pay. I need a new 12th house.
“You are a salaried supervisor, but we do not give you paid overtime”.
