Which means that I get all the responsibility and workload but they’re still paying my my old wage for several months until they decide if they want to make it official. The reason given was “budgetary” but it seems that since the person whose shoes I’m stepping into is gone and left after the budget was done, their salary is very much in the bucket.
I also have access to our team’s financials now and it’s fun to see that the profits made by my team’s work this month have paid for all of our salaries for the year.
