I’m a team lead. My role is fuzzy since I have been told that I am “not the manager” but all my duties are manager-level.

I will be moving to a different role in the company so they are looking to hire a replacement. This replacement would have the title of Manager and make way more than I have been making as team lead, with the exact same job description.

They want me to hold off on moving to my new role (which comes with a higher pay) so I can train the new Manager/my replacement. Meaning I would be:

• delaying getting paid more because I’m stuck in my old role training my manager
• training someone else to do the EXACT job I’ve been doing but they get paid more to do it

During this time I would also be a direct report of this new person…… WHOM I WOULD BE TRAINING……. WHILE THEY MANAGE ME???

I also find it generally disrespectful since they’ve been so adamant that I’m “not the manager”. If I’m not the manager, doesn’t that make it inappropriate for me to train the new manager?

How do I deal with this?
