I do IT for an MSP, been with the company for 2 and a half years. My company was bought out by another 6 months ago and it's been downhill since. I felt I was respected and could progress in my career with my old management. Now, they would rather outsource jobs to India than to hire from the U.S. There's about a dozen people on my team I interact with and 2 specifically that I work in the office with that I'm great friends with, we hangout outside of work and stuff. My colleagues share my frustration and concerns about our new management. We were chilling one evening and they asked me if I've been looking around for other positions, and I was honest with them and told them how I was looking around and interviewing.

Long story short, my immediate supervisor had an accident two months ago. He has been on leave for the past two months and I've been the acting manager of the department ever since. The directors for the department offered me the interim manager title since I'm already doing the work but HR said no because I apparently lack experience. So, like almost always, all the work and responsibilities but no pay to match. HR has also been holding up an approved pay rise for weeks now. ** the interim title is an actual title that comes with higher pay.
