don't come here with semi good news.

another way to look at it is you could have gotten laid off with 11 months free pay...
- uberdesigner0
plymouth rock landed on you, you didn't land on plymouth rock!

a "raise" with more responsibility, or projects, or hours yet no extra cash is a screw-job unless it's a step towards a particular direction.

more work and responsibility for same pay. yay?

next, expect the speech by management to begin with, "As you all know the state of the economy, we can't afford any freelancers so everyone is just going to have to just work longer hours... so suck it up!"

more work, less pay. Sounds like you got screwed.
But it could be worse I suppose.

At least you didn't lose your job. Congratulations... But you should confront them in about 3 months to discuss additional pay. Let your work speak for itself.

...ass raped would be more appropriate.
Congrats ;)

...but on second thought, now that you got promoted, sounds like it's time to kick back and take you time with projects.
- um ya i wish.. we are so behind.. longer hours for me...Audria
- sikma0

Blessing. Promotion in title will lead to better paying job when you leave the current and go to another.
- i went from.. student in may 08 to designer to art director in less then a year? it doesnt feel rightAudria
- Just look at it in perspective, you can call your self ANY title in new york. meet a few more creative directors and you'll realize that quickly,,,robotron3k

Kind of like this signing bonus:
"we'll give you a free computer to work on, in our office, that we will still own!"

Switching from "fluffer" to "catcher" isn't necessarily a promotion.
- at least the breath will be better7point34
