    In my current role taking a management position would not result in a pay increase becuase I already wear a few hats that give me slight bumps in rate and allowances so I’m effectively paid the same take home.

    What it would mean is that I no longer have to go outside in sweltering heat, freezing cold or pissing down rain for 4 to 6 hours a day. Would I take a promotion with no pay bump? In a fucking heartbeat.

      Nah, that’s the wrong attitude. If they’re giving you more responsibility, regardless of the quality of work overall, you should get paid commensurately, whether or not you’re effectively taking home the same pay due to multiple hats.
