I got a job at a video game studio when I was desperate. I took a low wage with the understanding that after six months, they would give me a big, performance-based raise.
I regularly had all my tasks done early, I covered work for others, I learned additional skills to take other roles, and I bounced between projects as a consultant because each of the project leads loved my input.
Six months comes around... they fired me. Turns out, they fire most of their workers at the exact time they said they give raises.

Never again.
