A disgruntled worker took to social media to express her frustration after discovering her former job listed on the company’s website with a significantly lower salary. In a TikTok video that garnered over 5,500 views, user Vic (@vicsvlog) narrated how she stumbled upon this shocking revelation after being laid off.
Vic explained that she found her old job posted on the company’s site with the same job description but a new title and a decreased salary. Despite earning $100,000 annually in her previous role, the newly advertised salary was only $55,000.
Feeling betrayed, Vic speculated that the company was trying to save money by hiring someone to do the same job for less pay. To make matters worse, she was informed that her termination was not performance-based but due to the elimination of her position.
Viewers of the video offered advice on seeking recourse, suggesting legal action through the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to address potential discrimination in the workplace. Others shared similar experiences of being undervalued by their former employers.
The EEOC enforces federal laws that prohibit workplace discrimination, and The Daily Dot reached out to them for further information on the matter. Vic has not responded to requests for additional details as of yet.
This incident serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by workers in a competitive job market, where companies may prioritize cost-cutting measures over fair compensation for their employees. As the story unfolds, it highlights the importance of advocating for fair treatment and transparency in the workplace.
