matter what happens with step #2 above, start actively job-searching. This organization and this manager have not treated you with integrity, and even if you get them to give in now, you have plenty of evidence about how they operate. It's time to move on. Not every employer is like this; find one that isn't. And when you do, get any employment agreement in writing -- salary, future salary reviews, promises about title changes, all of it. (Similarly, if your current employer does agree to a raise and title bump now, get that in writing too -- they have a track record of ignoring promises. And if they refuse to put it in writing, assume their "agreement" with you is a sham.) And a big-picture takeaway from this:  Three years is too long to put up with something like this without asserting yourself. Six months, fine. Three years -- no. You've got to speak up when people are reneging on employment agreements. If you don't, you teach them that they can continue to do that to you. To put it bluntly, you've let them walk all over you for 3 years, and they've come to see you as someone who lets them walk all over you. Stop letting them do that. Be firm and assertive -- you don't want increased responsibility until and unless it comes with a Title Change (of your reasonable choosing) and a Raise that accounts for both the original raise that was promised and an increase
