I just got asked to be the manager of my department. There has never been a manager but they are starting to see a need for it and my name came up (it was the only name that came up I was told). I'm not for sure if I want to take it though! First, my boss didn't give me any good details of what my job would include. Second, I know how they treat managers around here (all the blame goes to them). But I'm basically doing alot of things a manager would do and I could use another pay raise. I just got one but I would not accept it without another raise. I just don't really know the questions to ask about this kind of position because I've never been a manager. I know this would look good on my resume down the road and hopefully help in my department because it needs it alot!
I have also been doing alot better personally after all the stress my job was causing me (I posted about this back in March). Since then things have calmed down, my boss is listening to me more and treating me better and I have continued talking with my doctor about the resolution to this issue. I'm more scared of going backwards again and I don't want to end up back there. I know that since I opened up to my boss and told him what is going on, he would be more willing to work with me if this came up againg. But I'm really scared to loose all the progress I've made.
I don't know if any of you who have been in a managment position have any advice to give me!
