<human>: Condense the text into a few key points

3 years ago I applied to a job as an electrical engineer at a small company of barely 20 people.  I was offered the job at 45k.  I proved myself through hard work, ingenuity and fixed a LOT of this company's problems.  BIG problems.  Like, this design is so bad it could kill people bad...  I was promoted to Senior Electrical Engineer and got a little bonus.  The director of engineering (my boss) needed some extra help so he hired a mechanical and a software engineer.  About a year later, the director of engineering was fired due to nonperformance.  

Now, I assumed the position (heh) of director of engineering, without the title, and without the pay increase.  The president ONLY talks to me about important projects, and I delegate tasks and assign projects to the engineers....i.e. I am the new director.  

Long story short, I was in my old boss' email (I was given access after he was fired) and discovered my "employees" actually make more than me.  Am I being screwed over here?  I think my old boss probably made 60k+.
<bot>: Employees make more than me.  Should I be worried, upset?  I seem to have a lot of responsibilities and stress for the money I'm making..........
