Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

You got played, happened to me too in the past. Any job that plays games like this is a red flag from the jump
I'd be looking for a new job if I were you. It doesn't sound like you'll be paid what your worth at your current company.
They did same thing to me. when i started demanding for increase in my salary as more responsibilities were to me, the owner of the company got angry and got me sacked.
Its now trend that this employers use to use and dump people.
I would work. 7am-5pm. Then go back 6pm-11pm. Never saw my .35 cent raise. Nope. Not that would change. Since other employees 12-14 years younger getting paid more. The company knew where I stood in life. But just took took took took took took. And I never saw an extra dime. Stayed 9 months. Empty words filling a strainer.
Lesson learned. If it is not written, specifically in your job offer and signed by both parties, it does not exist.
You stayed there 18 months longer than I would have. 6 month probation done. Please reevaluate my pay. No? Here’s my notice!
Start looking and bail ASAP. I’d probably not even give 2 weeks notice at that point.
I tried to do a 2 week. Be the bigger person I guess.
.
Once I found out others pay. I worked 2 more days to finish out pay week. I left.
.
If the work can fire on spot! Then you can too!
What I did in the same situation - leave. I took a 50% pay cut for a sole in-house lawyer job. (Though TBF, I was unemployed for 9 months at that point.) 2.5 years later the owner (convinced she was a GREAT boss - she wasn’t, she was a paranoid micromanager) was complaining to me about her employees, She said NOBODY had gone for more than a year without a raise. I, who’d been there 2.5 years without one and was already substantially below market pay, just stared silently at her. 2 months later I was gone, for a 50%+ pay raise.
Should have been looking for a new job at 6 months, not two years.
Nothing is an offer unless it's in writing.
Don't give up. Fight for your money. Get your facts together on paper, with research done, on the position, location of the job, what that job pays normally and remind him of what you have accomplished and what was promised. Putting him in a corner will get him to react either way. At least you will know...
Find another job immediately and quit with ZERO notice
Been there. Herd that. It's empty promises. I fell for it too. Many times. If you, yourself need more money flow, get to looking now. Do not say a word. And move on. I stayed with a job for 5 years. Nothing. But 2025. Bills don't take IOUs
thats typical of most corporate companies

Sounds familiar. This has been the case with at least half a dozen people on my team. My advice about Compass - get EVERYTHING in writing.
Most companies in the Southeast tend to chump their entry level employees. Consider any direct hire better than your temp to hire. You do need to be level headed and on your best behavior. Avoid clashes in any way.
I have had similar experiences with vague mentions and no clarity. I apologize you're dealing with it. I'm honestly still on the fence about Xfinity mobile Verizon and T-Mobile for reliability and security. Xfinity mentioned a little something after 6 months but I didn't hear much and I have been promoting it as I go but I'm concerned the scatter data at this point. I haven't always gotten my communications coming through either which is very difficult!!
The only thing that has grown is your resentment. There! You have your answer! STOP LOOKING FOR CONFIRMATION! You already know what to do!
Leave.
Find a new role and then give your notice.
