Did you get promoted from an hourly rate to a salary as well? Tough break.
There's countless stories of people who are in the position to make a company work well, but instead allow preventative maintenance to suffer horrendously while making the books look better(they usually get promoted, leaving the fix-ups to the poor fella who has to fix what they left un-maintained for years), and the guy behind them is expected to make everything work on a minimal budget, which is sometimes impossible. Maybe in your case that's all different, and I hope so, but it still sounds like you've got a long road ahead.
Good luck with it man.
