It is a two headed sword. I'm not picking on you; just a statement in general Some people say
1) "I stepped up"; that was 1 time for 1 freaking week, ain't no body going to be giving you a raise.
2) "I'm doing their job, I should be a manager"; it also tough for 2 reasons. a) not all corp companies can just promote you and b) you might be doing 80% of a manager's day to day job; the other 20%, you still gotta prove in a time frame for them to recognize. Eg// sometimes it'll have to be 6-12 months before you MIGHT get sometime.
I'm going thru it now. Stepped up / volun-told for now 1.5 yrs now. It's ok, just suck it up, the day will come.
Sorry to hear about this. Again, for those who walked out; I assume you have a solid background, tenure, connections etc to do so. Of course if you're just a 8-5 worker with minimal experience and you don't know your landscape of your industry, finding something is going to be tough.

once you left you can't go back. that's the message. All respect is lost once you go back.
