It means that someone has received something nice, but they now must suffer.
If someone’s boss offers them a promotion, or more money to do a more difficult job, the money is the carrot, but the increased work is the stick.
It is an old saying. It is not very commonly used. Have you ever seen a picture of someone riding a donkey and dangling A carrot in front of them? Once the donkey takes the carrot, he will be beat with a stick.
