I'm doing managers job without managers pay and my agency keeps using me to do the work of a manager.  They have hired two managers in the past year who have come and gone and I have trained them and every time someone leaves from that position they asked me to step in again but they won't hire me.  They say they have full faith that I can do the job and this time they will possibly change my paperwork as a temporary fill in so I can get paid a manager's pay until they fill the slot.  What the f*** why can't they just hire me already?  What is it about the government that they're so f****** backwards?

I have literally done that job for over a year now and had headquarters called down to my director and tell them they need to hire me in my director still won't.  

I'm tired of this b******* I have for the past 4 years taking my job very seriously which is a big turnaround considering that I used to be reckless and quit every job I had and now I feel like when I'm putting in the work it's for nothing.
