I transferred locations from HCOL (NY) to MCOL (PA) in early February and signed a transfer letter saying my salary would not change. HR just reached out to me that they missed reviewing my salary and it will actually have to decrease. I received the new transfer letter today with a salary ~9k less than my current salary. Any advice?

Just say no and decline to sign any new documents, you have a signed legal document stating your salary will not change which should be binding for the company. I had a similar experience when I moved from HCOL to MCOL and HR messed up my new salary calc. I noticed it after the move because my paychecks were not the correct amount and altered HR. They came back saying they made a mistake and asked me to sign a new letter with "correct" adjustment, I declined and eventually they honored the original agreement.

Declining is your best option. Be advised your future raises/merit increases will likely be considerably smaller than your peers in the next few years until your salary is back in line with your PA colleagues.

Frame it around “I have already planned based on the salary amount you confirmed and we have since moved forward and locked this in with the transfer two months ago”

A similar-ish miss happened here, though it was cleared up before the move completed and HR agreed to keep the same salary. The issue was the person was above the salary range for a bit, so there were no raises. Person got promoted within two years, so it was good.

So I've been at my job for 5+ years as a data analyst/back office support team. I made my way up into making a little over $40k. I've been WFH the past 2 yrs and overtime more than half my team has now been pulled out to work for a diff department which resulted in me taking 90% of our daily tasks to handle. I'm at a point where the salary I'm getting is disrespectfully low for all the work I do. Should I ask for a raise? And if so, how do I go about asking without sounding greedy.

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷
