And this is why one of our engineers came *back* to work for us, after leaving for his "dream job" years ago - because we let him just be a senior engineer, fixing bugs and building features. Nobody tries to make him into a manager - he's a great developer, he doesn't want to be a manager ( ... )

Wow, that style of source control sounds really old-fashioned ( ... )

You do your work, you've proven you can think... AND you care.
Fatal mistake, my friend!

I'm so sorry this might be happening to you. My only comment is that when they tell you they're promoting you, ask for 10 weeks vacation, or a 4-day work week. They might give it to you.

(I was once offered 80% of my previous salary, so I asked to work 80% of a full work week, and damn if they didn't let me work three full days and two half days a week.)

Hugs. That sounds incredibly frustrating, even as someone who knows nothing about programming and enjoys management jobs.
