Promotion, so far no pay-rise??
Discussion
Might be interesting to find out why the previous manager left at such short notice.
Was he p1**ed off with the way he was being treated?
May give some idea of how the firm treat their managers and whether you want to carve a career with them or cut your losses and move on to pastures new.

Well I left this a long time ago and kind of forgot I had posted about it on here.
I have now been in the position 6 months and still no pay rise!!!! Time after time I am fobbed off with one excuse or another...
Currently, the company is losing the FD as he has decided to take early retirement, so the newest excuse is 'I am concentrating on replacing the current FD and so far the search has proven useless. It is my priority though'
I am pissed off and pretty much said so. I refuse to be in charge, but repeatedly get left with the work the previous manager did as I am the only one who knows what needs doing and how to do it! I'm not the type of person who can just turn their back and say 'Not doing it, it can sit there' as I know it will just make it worse.
I think its about time I spoke to citizens advice? Its finally gotten to me and I am genuinely fed up

Get some balls, put it in writing and start looking for other work. Or wait another 3 months and then write another angry post on a forum 
Helpful cheers Already put it in writing and it is just being ignored. I take it you haven't ever looked for advice from people who are probably more experienced than yourself?Donatello said:

How long would it take you to find a new job? If I was in your position (i.e. 6 months of being fobbed off), and I was able to do so (financially for example) then I would send another letter. This one would briefly cover the points you have made previously, stating that if they are not willing to do anything about it then they should consider this letter as your resignation. Empathise that you have done your best for the past 6 months, and that your efforts have been unrewarded. Already put it in writing and it is just being ignored. I take it you haven't ever looked for advice from people who are probably more experienced than yourself?Perhaps tell your boss verbally first.
Not an option to be taken lightly, and only you know your own circumstances well enough to judge if this is the option to take.

I'd hand my notice in. I would have some sort of contingency (another job lined up, even if only a stop gap) if I could not survive without wages for too long.
The the type of boss that has not replaced your manager and will not deal with your wages is the type of boss who will not recruit to replace you in good time. So you will not have time to hand over or document the roles and responsibilities.
And keep in touch with your boss so that he is happy to come to you asking you to come back because he is in the s**** shortly after you leave. Be prepared to require a salary of £xx,xxx of him and get it in writing.
Go back to work with the same s*** boss and kick yourself in six months when you have another issue and realise you have the same boss..
