No-motion refers to a promotion without a raise or bonus.

No-motion指的是没有加薪的升职。

During the recession of 2009, employers have embarked on a new trend of giving promotions to employees (e.g. by adding more responsibility to their current position or new job title) but not giving the employee any monetary compensation for it (e.g. no raise, no bonus).

在2009年的经济萧条期，雇主们普遍采用的新做法是给员工升职（比如给他们现任的职位增加更多责任或给他们新头衔）但是却不给员工相应的金钱补偿（没有加薪或额外津贴）。

Example:

My boss gave me a no-motion as I was promoted to VP but still receiving the same pay!

我的老板给我升职却不给加薪，我被升到副总，拿的薪水却还和以前一样！
