My job TITLE is steady, what I DO changes every year. When I have my performance review at the end of each year, the work I have actually done usually looks barely similar to what was established at the beginning of the year. The mid-year review usually reflects where the changes started. :o) The next year will find me going back to doing what they WANTED me to do the year before. Crazy. When a new administration comes in. EVERYBODY gets new things to do or told different ways to do with they have been doing (successfully for years), until the administration changes again. After 28 years, you get used to it and keep plugging along until you get CLEAR guidance on what to do. One thing I learned – Never throw away rules/guidance that work. Brand new rules often don’t work and you wind up going back the old rules.
Managers like to have you write your own job descriptions, as well as your own performance reviews… I’d fill mine with multisyllable words that they had to look up… then I could tell that I’d taught them something, because they’d start using those words every chance they got – to show off…

Those job title changes are what you got in instead of a raise.
