so true...even if the boss doesn't want to name me as a "manager", fine, with increased workload, please compensate me accordingly....

but usually, promotion for most companies come with a pay rise, those not promoted to the next level, is usually stuck at the average pay, because they are deemed average and to be fair to others (that was according to my boss)

some people have high ego, they accept promotion without extra pay, because they want the "designation"

then they will give excuses like living frugally there are such people in this world...
