Even though I enjoy work mostly I've learned to take a mental tally of the hours and stressful moments vs. pay. In my personal situation it seems to me that certain promotions aren't worth it. Basically I don't think its worth it to me to take on extra responsibilities that I'm not going to enjoy for a marginally higher compensation. That means I'll never be high up in the org chart but thats fine. Based upon what you are describing I'd decline the promotion and it may push them to negotiate higher compensation for the additional work.

Thanks. I agree with you. I dont think I can decline it since its already reflected in the system. That will look odd. Negotiation wont look good either since they dont have the budget. Anyways lets see.
