Manager reneged compensation for role but still expects me to take offer

My manager asked our team if anyone was willing to go on rotation, basically a contracted amount of time to do another job in the company, and I said I would be interested. I went on vacation with the impression that my new contract would be available when I returned. When I returned, I was told the promotion was no longer available but I was still expected to take the job. When I asked what would happen if I reject the role, she said it was fine, but that that work would still be coming to me regardless of my decision. There has been no contract given to me even to discuss the length of assignment, my new manager, days I need to be in office, etc. My (old) manager now wants to have a mid-year review and the comments left are all about this new ‘role’ that I’m not…


My manager asked our team if anyone was willing to go on rotation, basically a contracted amount of time to do another job in the company, and I said I would be interested. I went on vacation with the impression that my new contract would be available when I returned.

When I returned, I was told the promotion was no longer available but I was still expected to take the job. When I asked what would happen if I reject the role, she said it was fine, but that that work would still be coming to me regardless of my decision.

There has been no contract given to me even to discuss the length of assignment, my new manager, days I need to be in office, etc.

My (old) manager now wants to have a mid-year review and the comments left are all about this new ‘role’ that I’m not being paid for.

I feel like the company is taking advantage of me when I felt as though I was doing them a solid taking a role that not many people were interested in. I realize most of this was verbal so I’m probably SOL (I have messages about it but nothing formal); any advice on how to approach my mid-year review?
