Hypothetically, no legal advice needs to be given.
Not that it matters since i wouldn't sue, but is there anything illegal about this situation? My manager left company 2 years ago. I applied and was made manager of a group of 10+. I face the client and manage the team to make sure work is completed in successful manner. My manager was very happy with my performance. Even though no one got a raise in the company he tried to get me one. The main problem is HR has never actually made me the manager of the team. my team members actually report to people in other countries and other US managers. I do their appraisals, and in every way am their manager, I just don't show as their manager.
The problem is HR can't make me a manager because I have the wrong title. And there has been an 18 month freeze on promotions so there is no way they can fix this. They have been turned down at the highest level even when no extra money was required. They also say with coming reorgs they don't know when this could be fixed.
In the meantime I continue to work much longer hours with no additional compensation. Also the manager that hired me has quit since he was so frustrated with mismanagement in the company. btw, this is not a small company, they just don't ever seem to know what they are doing.
Mostly I am a sucker for not leaving, but there are various reasons for not leaving.
