I asked was there a raise to go with it, and there is. So I said I'd do that. Department head sets up the contract and sends it for approval, then she leaves for a new job.

New department head tells me my contract is back at the first stage and she'll get back to me with an update.

2 Months go by and I'm told today my supervisor's job didn't actually exist so I won't be getting a promotion. I've been doing the work and training to take on more especially the past few weeks. Turns out the department head knew this a month ago and never told me.

Applying to jobs right now.
