I work for the university that I attend. I was offered a promotion to a Manager. I asked for the afternoon to consider, and said that I would call and give them my decision before they left the office that day. When I called, my boss said that it had been decided not to promote me because they could save money by having less managers. I'm just wondering whether I have any rights because they had already offered me the position.

This job is ridiculous anyway, they do things like not putting the schedule up until two days before it starts, and they change the schedule frequently and insist that we must check it every day. We are also not allowed any days off, and even for funerals or illness they are unlikely to allow us days off.

Ugh. Suggestions, anyone?
