I might be headed there too. For the first time in forever I like my manager and he always goes to bat for me. And I am the lead of a team I really like. But the company gave me a crappy raise despite huge profits and all the good feedback from coworkers that led to me getting the lead position (without raise) after only a little over a year.
Now they are reclassifying my job as an in-office position even though I was hired for remote and my team is spread across the country and the world including my manager, so I'd still be doing all communications over the internet. Fortunately, they are short on office space in my city and the next closest office is over 150 miles away and they made it so they only force people to commute 50 miles (as the crow flies, not actual driving miles) which is still ridiculous, especially for a couple of my colleagues who would have to take a ferry which adds a lot of time, or drive around a pretty big body of water to get to my city.
But if they try to force the office thing after expanding office space, or don't give me a better raise next year, especially after the unpaid promotion with extra responsibilities, I'm gone.
I'm odd because I vastly prefer in-office work so that's never been a deal-breaker for me. I like the option to work from home if needed, but the nature of my new job means I just don't have anything to do from home and have to be on-site.
But I too have received unpaid "promotions" recently, but they're generally because I seek out more responsibilities and take on more hats than I need out of necessity. "Oh no one is handling our new hires and I need to build a team? Guess I'm doing team allocation now." "We're out of seats and I need 3 seats for my team? Guess I'm in charge of that now." "We're out of VMs and have to steal them from other people to reallocate? Guess I'm organizing that effort too."
That's just good experience though as I'm using it for leverage to get a promotion next year, potentially moving to a management position.
