review and a 2.6% increase... and a "plan" to promote me to manager in another. Heart of hearts tells me management is screwing me and just looking to make me redundant after training the resource I'm managing, then let me go.
One more thing I should mention, I rejected an offer to manage a different team about a year ago because the team was unqualified and and it was in a discipline that I wasn't as competent in, but mostly because they first offered a 10% raise and then came back with a 5% raise. Ever since rejecting, I've pretty much been treated like an after thought by management.
Writing seems to be on the wall for me... anyone else experience something similar? Any advice would be appreciated. Pretty bad feeling about this overall.
So frustrating, but I think your hunch is probably right that turning down the promotion offer put a bad taste in their mouth and they don't seem as willing to help you advance your career now. I think you're right to be upset about the bad raise and lack of promotion, I would probably start applying elsewhere if I were you honestly. Doesn't sound like they're valuing you all the way

I’m sorry you’re in this position. It is hard to take sides without much details and understanding both sides. Here are some thoughts:
1. Are there details in their plan to promote you?
2. The previous offer which you rejected: did you have a say into how to structure/restructure/hire/fire the team? If not, did you make a case for hiring who you want on the team?
3. 10% is not terrible for added responsibility, but you might want to make a case for more as you achieve team goals - you’ll need to plot them out, as you think about the team’s restructuring.
TLDR: at some point capable ICs like you and me need to start thinking from the Org’s perspective and make your case in that manner. It’s less about what you can get or rather the framing of the issue is less about what you can get.
