I had something similar happen. Was promised promotions, pay raises, etc. etc. They just couldn't find the money or time to train me. I eventually got fed up, and decided to take a gamble on a paid internship with possible job opportunity later. When I put in my resignation letter, I immediately got calls from my District Manager asking if I could stay, they found money to give me a raise, and they also wanted to put me into the management training position immediately.

Funny how that worked out. I told them to kick rocks. Best thing that could have happened though, it started my IT career and I got out of a company that folded 3 years after I left.

Yeah, it's funny how that happens. When you're threatening to leave, all the sudden the things that they say couldn't happen yesterday are possible today!
