Demoted or just part of the team?

My company laid my team off this week and then told me I’d be covering their responsibilities, something I used to do 4-5 years ago. It’s too much work for one full time person, that’s why I hired two people, and I still have my responsibilities but they claim it’s temporary. To add, I’ve been taking on more responsibility for the past three years in hopes of a promotion/raise, and now I’m set back. The company has been decent to me otherwise… I don’t make as much as I would if I left, but I at least used to know what my day would look like and enjoy the challenges. Am I a fool for staying, when all that progress I had made has been traded for what I did two roles ago?
