    I got pushed to take over my team a couple of years back when my boss left. It’s been a trip, I think I’m doing decently well at this point, but it came with literally zero pay change yet more hours and stress. Now I’m being pushed to take on an additional team in another country and office. It’s aggravating that if I say no it’ll negatively affect bonus, but if I say yes, it’ll likely somehow become the new baseline expectation. I get paid enough where bitching probably isn’t justified, but suffice it to say that stepping up for extra responsibility hasn’t worked well for me for pay or work life balance.
