My sim got a promotion, but her pay decreased

My sim just got promoted to a celebrity chef and now makes less money. She got subtracted pay.

I think this could be because I previously gave her the trait from the rewards store, entrepreneurial.  She was getting a bunch of raises, but no promotions, so I went online and a bunch of people online were saying that if their sim had that trait that they weren't getting promoted.

I decided to remove that trait with cheats I believe and by that time she was making about 12,000 an hour, I think. Anyways, it's been about 2-3 in-game weeks since that and she finally got promoted to the last level and instead of increasing her pay, she now makes less.

I would add a image, but I don't see an option
