Hi /adv/

I'd like to see what advice you guys would give to someone in my position. Essentially, I feel like my job is trying to cuck me.

Just over a year and a half ago I was offered the opportunity to move to a problematic team to iron out its difficulties. I was told that if this was successful I would be rewarded. I accepted this offer.

After 3 months I received a promotion which brought my salary in line with what i should have been on before I moved. Other's were promoted on my old team at the same time as me they of course did not accept the same "opportunity" as me.

At the 6 month mark I was told of another opportunity for promotion and was placed on training courses that would coincide with this.This promotion would bring me to the same level as the highest paid on my old team. Yet in comparison my workload far exceeds theirs.

A year has now passed since this second supposed opportunity for promotion was given and I have completed the training courses. Essentially I am already performing the role and have become vital to the effectiveness of the team.

I have held meetings with my manager with regards to when this promotion would happen the bottom line was that nothing concrete could now be said. My retort was that if nothing concrete could be provided then I would have to consider other job opportunities if they became available.

Now I have found out that staff of equal level to me and some that are under me have received pay rises which bring them closely inline with my salary (albeit still slightly less than mine). On average the productivity of these staff falls way below that of effective and I often have to complete their work for them. Yet no work of a pay rise nor promotion for me.

I've emailed my boss asking for a meeting first thing on Monday. How should I play it? If he can't provide me something concrete It would seem like handing in my resignation would be best.
