Well, my previous concerns have come to fruition. I have recently been asked to act as ‘interim’ team leader to half a team at work (four people) amidst various reorganisational bits and pieces. Now the clever bit about tagging the words ‘interim co-’ to this means that I don’t actually have team leader authority, nor do I have team leader pay, nor do I have team leader job title but get all the grief for it and I still have to carry a fair proportion of my regular work load on top of ‘interim co-’ team leading. However this is clearly a good addition to my cv (when suitably pimped of course) and puts me on the front line for actual advancement to team leader status (setting aside that I remain unconvinced that this a career direction I wish to pursue at the moment).
Overall I am not sure if I am pleased about this or not. Sure the bossing folks about and throwing my weight around is no doubt going to be a bit of fun for a while but not having ever really done that kind of thing before am not sure how long the appeal of that will last.

Why dont you ask for more pay? surely interim-co means more than just the senior you are at the moment?
