A colleague of mine mentioned that there is a possibility of the following scenario at a financial company: if a senior project manager level II wanted to become a scrum master with minimal experience, the company would downgrade them from a (example) level 5 with a $140k/yr salary to a level 3 with a $120k/yr salary!! Is this legal in CA? This seems like a very indirect way of getting people with bay area salaries to quit, so the co. can outsource to hire cheaper employees in other states/countries.
Where is demotion illegal? Its definitely not common because of the morale kill similar or worse as layoffs
This post kinda highlights the entitlement that people have on this app.
How?
Thinking that you are entitled to your pay or position. That you are entitled to only ever go up in salary. That you are even entitled to the job. This post is the definition of entitlement.
I think if I told Google that I wanted to switch to a lower-paying position (I don’t want to demean any job, but a minimum wage-ish position) and there was an opening, they would lower my salary accordingly.
Perfectly legal to match a new role to its market salary. Most companies do this.
This is absolutely NOT illegal. At almost every single reputable company you have to reinterview to change job families. They can offer you whatever they deem is fair and you are not required to accept. They are also not required to retain your employment.

Tipping culture is really getting out of control! Waiter gave me ‘a look’ because I tipped her 10% for ‘BAD service!’
If the employee is initiating the transfer into an area where they are less experienced, what's wrong with company offering a lower level and salary?
Because this person has actual leadership skills that matter in the real world vs. Using some project methodology by the book! What's more valuable IRL?
If it were more valuable, the company would pay more.
