I don't want to be a manager because I would have to put in more hours and couldn't do my side job, which pays about $800 a month. Manager's salary would only be an extra $200 a month (because my seniority means I have high pay for a non-management employee) and would take several years to be as high as what I'm making now.

What I really want is to change to a higher paying job.

the minor pay bump would not be worth the increased workload and would turn the job from a very chill one into a very shitty one

The capable but unambitious do their job super well but have no aspirations to take on more. It's a bummer but I can't force them into other things.
The underperforming person with ambition makes mistakes when allowed the opportunity to "prove themselves" and doesn't learn from them

I've opted to be a subject matter expert over management as I'd rather do actual work than try to herd cats.

Yeah I could easily take my bosses job or move to an even higher position than that, but it would pay maybe 10% more with double the workload. Seems like a stupid idea lol.

Ain't no such thing as a lateral move for me. Either I move WAY up in terms of pay or I'm content to just slum it out where I'm at.

People who have ambition to be in management should never be in management.

Seen it too many times.

I would rather not take on the management responsibilities but I havent always been given much choice. Its also the only way I can earn as much as I do now and still be teaching.

Im in grade 4 at the moment, but Ive taught everything from KG up to Grade 8.

I do enjoy it, enough that I used to do it when the money wasnt great. Now I can do a job that I enjoy for the most part and make more, which is cool.

I've been a manager, supervisor, trainer, lots of different positions with authority and responsibility. I fucking hate it. I don't want the responsibility it is never worth it for what the increase in pay ends up being.

I currently make 35 an hour working 6/7 days a week at 12-14hrs a day. If I was a lead truck I'd be making 37 and have a shit ton of extra responsibility that would have me working unpaid for a few hours a day. The next position up is salaried and they only way to make more money than I already do is through bonuses that requires way more work than it ends up being worth.
