Job-Related Question... Need Your Input

[rawjs]

So I have only been at my job for about a month now.  When I accepted the position a month ago, I was told that I would be salaried, and that I would need to keep this quiet from my co-workers as my boss was planning on me running the division.  He told me to just go in there and learn as much as possible, b/c he felt with education and background that I was the only one he trusted in running the division.  Well, fast forward a month, and I get an email from HR to meet briefly.  He informs me that I am going to be an "hourly employee" now and not salaried.  I also just learned that he hired someone to oversee my division.  Should I read b/w the lines that I am about to get canned/demotion?  Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Cliffs:
-Started working a month ago as "salaried employee"
-Month later, HR calls me in to let me know that my boss wants me "hourly employee" now
-They hired someone for what I believed to be my position
-Do you think this equals demotion/firing?

Sounds like he just told you what you wanted/needed to hear to get you to accept your position

Yes I do, considering that he said, "we couldn't possibly make any type of person a supervisor here without at least some experience", yet he hires someone to oversee my group as a whole

I am starting to feel more and more like this everyday.   I'm glad someone takes that from my experience.  If it weren't for a steady pay check, I'd walk, but I need this money

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Talk to your boss about it.

I'd look for a new job just in case for the simple facts that what he did was shady and now that you're not running things like he said you could be let go at anytime but if you like the job then ignore the first part of my run on sentence

lol welcome to management v labor.
Your first tip off should've been about the "keep quiet from the rest of the co workers". That's just a a sign of shady management / poor work environment already.

Yeah, you're exactly right.  I think I was so thrilled to get hired that I didn't even really think about what was going on.  Good point.

Is your boss kind of a loud mouth who speaks too much before he thinks and is very impulsive? Lots of them around.

I don't think you have anything to be demoted from, sounds like he was leading you on. If it's not in writing it doesn't count, unfortunately.
