Does your game say on the top right:

[Game Name]
CharlesC (or whatever manager name you are using)
Washington?

If so, then this should match the manager home page screen.

It should not say "Act as: Washington" because then you are the commissioner just temporarily acting as the Washington GM but not actually hired by Washington. People often get this confused.

Also, I have noticed that the manager identities in the game can get garbled if you do not add, edit, and delete them in a certain order. If things don't match on January 2, then perhaps go to Game, Select Human Manager, switch to "Joe Unknown" or some other identity if there is one. Then go to Game, Add General Manager, and delete your Washington manager identity. Go out and come back in to Add General Manager, then click Add another Manager. Edit this new "Joe Unknown" to be your manager identity and assign him the Washington job (Select Team).

This should put things right, I think. If not, you may have a TechSupport item. Good luck.
