Rapidly burning out after being handed responsibility I specifically didn’t apply for

And no, it didn’t come with a raise. My work is going through a transition period. Several people have either moved departments, or left entirely. I recently got promoted to a lead position, but when the supervisor position was announced I didn’t apply because I didn’t want the extra responsibility for the pittance of a raise it came with (less than $1). However now, because there isn’t a supervisor on one of my days, I’ve been shoehorned into it anyway. Worse, I was informed of this by a company wide email informing other departments they could rely on the team leads going forward for things the supervisors usually do. It’s week two and I am RAPIDLY burning out. Is it even worth it to bring this up to someone? Considering nobody has actually talked to me about it. I’ve had all these new duties heaped on me with no conversation…

Is it even worth it to bring this up to someone? Considering nobody has actually talked to me about it. I’ve had all these new duties heaped on me with no conversation or additional compensation.

My workplace also happens to be a non profit and thus is horrible about money, and we are the lowest paid in the area in our industry.
