When I was told I was getting a promotion at the end of last year, my manager said it in such a way that he seemed surprised, even as the one giving it to me.
“We’re changing your title to . I guess that’s, technically, a promotion. Your salary will now be $. Congratulations.”
It definitely didn’t leave me with the feeling that my manager was happy with me or my work.

Exactly how he wanted it. A worker uncertain of their skill or value is much more likely to do whatever they want, and at a lower salary.

It wasn’t a role change, just a salary rung. I went from information-worker 2 to information-worker II. My day to day responsibilities didn’t change.
It’s almost like he begrudgingly admitted my skills advanced to the point where the company had to give me the promotion.

Or OP will just do the same job with a slightly higher salary and a fancier name to keep him on board.

Sounds like you failed upwards.
