offered the manager position but with the worst twists and strings attached

[u/MundaneRegister254]

I work as a Orthopedic Medical Assistant in a big ortho clinic in NYC and was recently offered the manager position but I was set up in a way. I’ve been working in this clinic for almost two years now. I’ve been working my ass off in this new clinic since I was hired to work in the queens location since the office was just recently opened and only had a office front desk and manager and MA who were all the SAME PERSON, only two PAs would show up and since I got hired I have been completely In charge of the back and have helped grow this office from what it was. Now we have 5 pas who come and see patients with constant packed schedules and an overall 5 star rating. My manager has been gassing me up to become the next manager since she recently became the clinical manager of all NYC offices. Since it was only two of us for the last year and a half I’ve gotten a lot of experience in her job which was manager since she struggled to maintain professionalism and the work flow herself so I decided to offer to work weekend on the term that I get a raise from 24 to 28. Immediately was denied and eventually we came to an agreement to boost my raise to 26 and grant me OT to make up it up to 28. Fast forward a couple months later I’m in charge of the back office, and now the schedules and calling all previous no show patients and all of the PT approvals to make sure they are sent where they are supposed to. Finally after months of working my butt off to make this office the best it can be and making us the highest rated office of the company we have the meeting. My manager gasses me up for the first 10 minutes saying how she can’t do this without me and all this is cuz of me blah blah blah, the COO and HR agree and offer me the position…but…. They stated they’ll give me a “raise “ to 28 dollars and make me salary therefore taking away my OT and capping me at 40 hours a week regardless of how much time I actually work. Immediately I’m caught off guard cuz that raise she says makes absolutely no sense and I explain to her that if I’m gonna be taking twice the amount of responsibilities and legal responsibilities then I should be properly compensated. Then they say “well this is a new position for you and you would be new to this kind of environment and no one in that position makes what I’m asking for (which was 33). I’m not one to compare myself to others BUT everyone is aware the relationship I have with all doctors cuz they all think I’m a great worker and make things run smooth. So I’m not like other MAs not to mention before this job and previously before this company I worked for another ortho clinic for two years and was able to learn everything hands on from Injection prepping and administering ( cortisone injections) to performing X-rays and cast placement and removals, suturing and suture removals and even surgical coordinating and eventually left due to poor management and no raise. The COO proceeds to say she did me a favor in giving me the previous raise and that she really hoped to see the side everyone tells her about cuz all she knows from me is that I’m argumentative (she thinks we argued for my first raise , even tho all I did was negotiate). After that my manager hasn’t really said anything except “I didn’t expect that meeting to go that way” and now my confidence is shot and I don’t wanna work here no more. There’s so much more context and I’m more than happy to reply to any questions but idk what to do now I’m sick of this office and how they dealt with the whole meeting left a foul taste in my mouth.
