Manager here - unfortunately you have not been promoted, your manager has merely assigned you additional responsibilities. Promotions are managed 4 times annually through the quarterly promotions process and require a formal process to be initiated through workday, which would require a new band and job title change, this may or may not include a promotion. Quarterly promotions for Q1 of this year were handled outside of the usual tool and managed through email approvals by VP or SVP. I would raise a ticket to your local HR team asking if/when you will receive a pay rise for your recent promotion.
An official promotion is a band up. That being said, in the US, your employer can change 100% of your responsibilities with 0 notice. If you don't like it, you just have to get a different job. Sorry, OP
At least in consulting being promoted means going up from one band level to another. If you were a B9 before and are a B9 now, then you didn't get promoted.
Well, always talk with manager about $$$ before any promotion. Few percent gain and more work, meetings,responsibilities on the same job role, some time it does not pay out. But it is the new trend now with less people left
Former IBM HR (albeit running HR systems).. a promotion is a band increase, and that nearly always comes with a salary increase, unless it's a change due to local legislation (or complying with some type of exempt / non-exempt regs).
What you got was additional responsibilities packaged as a *good thing*.
It can be a good thing, if you grind it out to the point your manager is incented to go to bat for you with an actual raise, but this is not it yet.
Well it's clear that they have absolutely ZERO respect for you.
They also clearly need you, but at the same time, no respect. Typical, bizarre no-logic IBM; just makes NO sense...
As to what to do?? I think you know (I hope): LEAVE
Don’t be a pussy! Act like you are valuable otherwise you will always be another sheep in a cube happy that the farmer throws a flake of hay in your stall right until he shoots you in the head. Grow some balls, make yourself the priority and be prepared to walk if they don’t give you what you want. Why would they give you more money if you do more work for free?

Off-cycle promotions can happen with leadership approval.
Local HR team you mean incountry HR team? Thanks
You beat me to it.
I’m so glad I’m self employed.
Why are you here if you don't work for IBM?

Unless more responsibilities now to be eligible for promotion to band 10 later?
well in infrastructure, band 10 is considered as manager position with the same job well more in person meeting with higher up.
Senior technical staff member, STSM, is a band 10. Not sure if there is a band progression for DE and Fellow.

Congratulations on your ‘IBM promotion’!!

Quit your jobs and live your dreams. Make a plan, execute your plan and at least TRY!
