When they've asked me, I say - been there, done that, didn't like it, wasn't very good at it, would rather stay doing what I'm doing now and it'll work out better for you and me if I do.
They've always accepted it OK and found someone else to do the "promotion" with all its extra hassle and they've left me alone. I don't think I'd have got a rate rise anyway.
But then, I'm not a "youngguy"!

Thanks, although I think I'll leave out the bit majority of the time" and change it to "all the time"!

The truth doesn't sound so bad. Tell them what you said in para 3, especially if you play up "I enjoy what I do". You've obviously been around long enough to get a good reputation. I don't see why wanting to carry on as you are would have to diminish that.

Promotion offer
The contractor I report to has left and I have been offered the role (probably because they can’t be bothered to recruit someone new).
I could probably negotiate a rate increase yadda yadda but the issue is that I’m not sure I want the extra hours, responsibility and hassle – even if it comes with extra money.
I enjoy what I do and it keeps me stimulated and busy for the majority of the time and could see myself here for a long time. My fear is a new role may be worse, mess up my work life balance etc.
I can’t exactly say “I don’t want the extra hassle” so how do I best say no, whilst still keeping my current position and not looking like I am lazy/not a team player/don’t want to go the extra mile. I was obviously asked because they think I am good at what I currently do but will turning the role down make them look less favourably at me?
