This discussion explores the scenario where an individual promoted to a higher grade (e.g., Scientist G) is subsequently posted to a lower-grade position (e.g., Scientist B) but retains the higher salary. The consensus is that while promotions are generally intended to increase both status and grade, specific posting decisions depend on employer policy and available vacancies. It's highlighted that posting is not a right, and while compassionate transfers are possible, they don't guarantee a specific role or grade upon promotion.
