If I was offered the promotion with a higher salary, but it requires me to work longer hours then I would have to think about it. It all depends on if its worth spending more time working and less time doing other things that are important to me like football and finding a gf!

If I were offered a promotion with a higher salary, but longer hours to work, I would be delighted. It's an amazing opportunity for me - something that could fill the void in my life ever since returning home from Iraq. A soldier doesn't turn down orders even if it means more hard work and sacrifices!

If I was offered a promotion with higher salary but longer hours, it would be pretty tough choice. As much as the financial stability that comes from having more money attracted me, my family always comes first and so wouldn't want to miss out on time together. That said, if an opportunity arises where I could switch some of my regular working hours to work-from-home so that I can still spend quality time with my family & friends then maybe this could be something worth considering!

If I was offered a promotion with a higher salary, but it required me to work much longer hours, then I would need to take some time to evaluate the opportunity and determine if it is worth the effort. As someone who has been in their field for many years, I understand that promotions can be highly beneficial when managed properly. Taking a closer look at all aspects of this particular promotion such as what tasks are involved and how exactly my paycheck will increase would be something that needs addressing before making any decisions. At the end of the day however, rewards do come from hard work so considering whether or not taking on additional shifts are feasible is essential.

I'd tell 'em to shove it. I'm not about trading my physical, emotional and mental health for more money! That's ridiculous. As a feminist and climate change advocate who values animal rights, there are other ways to make money without compromising those values or myself.

If I was 40 and in construction, with a love of sport, then if offered a promotion but longer hours for it- I'd weigh up the pros & cons. Depends how much more money they're offering and whether it's worth sacrificing other things like sports or time spent with family / friends etc to take the promotion

If I were offered a promotion with a higher salary but requiring me to work longer hours, I would consider the pros and cons carefully. On one hand, more money is always attractive — however, working too many hours can lead to burnout which affects quality of life. Depending on what's most important for me personally, I would make the best decision possible that balances my career and personal needs.

If I was offered a promotion with a higher salary but the hours were longer, I'd think carefully about what would work best for me. Would having more money be worth sacrificing my personal time? Does it fit into my long-term goals or career aspirations? It's important to take all of these questions into account before making any decisions. Ultimately, it's up to you to decide if this is something that will make sense for your lifestyle and future plans!

If I was offered a promotion with a higher salary but longer hours, I would have to think long and hard about what it really meant for me. On one hand, more money sounds great - but on the other hand, there's no point in having extra cash if that means sacrificing my wellbeing! So while I wouldn't immediately jump at the opportunity without considering the consequences carefully first, I would definitely be open to exploring ways of making it all work out; whether that involves focusing on flexible scheduling or taking some time off here and there. At the end of day though, sometimes you just gotta put yourself first and make sure whatever choice is made allows us all (me included!) to stay healthy & happy.

If I was offered a promotion with a higher salary but it required me to work longer hours, I'd weigh up all my options and consider if the trade-off would be worth it. Work can never replace being able to appreciate good cars or spending time with a special woman so that is something I need to take into account when making this decision. Either way, life is great and whatever choices come ahead of me will make for an even better one!

Well if I had the chance to make more money, then why wouldn't I take it? Even longer hours don't seem like an issue. Working hard pays off! Plus with two boys of my own now, they need me doin' something useful so may as well be doing somethin' that makes good cash.

If I was offered a promotion with more cash but insane hours, I'd have to think about it. Yeah, more money is great and my ride would benefit from that, but when do I get downtime? Gotta strike a balance between work and play!

If I was offered a promotion with higher salary but longer hours, I'd tell 'em to go screw themselves. What kind of penal colony do they think this is? Who has time for that crap anyway?! Girls got it easier - always gettin' better deals and not havin' to bust their ass!

If I were offered the promotion with a higher salary, but longer hours, I would weigh both sides to make sure that taking it is the best decision for me. If my passion for promoting healthy eating habits and lifestyle changes won't be compromised then I may take up this offer.

If I were offered a promotion with a higher salary but required me to work longer hours, I would weigh the pros and cons of this offer carefully before making my decision. On one hand, additional income could provide more security. On the other hand, working long hours might not be feasible for my lifestyle or commitments outside of my job. Ultimately, it's important that any future path allow me to maintain an appropriate balance between work life and everything else in order for both myself and those around me to stay happy and healthy.

I'd take it, but I don't think anyone else would be able to handle these long hours. That's what makes me so special! Ha ha...just kidding, kinda.

If I were offered a promotion that included higher pay but required me to work longer hours, I would take the time to analyze all of my options before committing. I'd first consider whether or not the increase in salary is worth the additional effort and will undoubtedly weigh up factors such as its impact on my workload at home, stress levels, etc. Ultimately, if it's something that enhances my career prospects without adversely affecting other areas of life too much then it could definitely be worth pursuing.

Well, if it's a promotion with more money and longer hours I guess that means I can buy bigger (and better!) things? But honestly, as long as I'm not losing out on quality time with friends and family there's an easy decision to be made - working hard for the higher salary so you can party harder when your off! Let the good times roll!!

If I were offered a promotion with a higher salary, I would weigh the pros and cons carefully before making my decision. While additional money can be beneficial in many ways, longer hours could take away from important relationships or hobbies that make me happy--so it's important to consider both sides of the equation. Ultimately, it depends on if the role offers something more than just increased monetary benefits; such as learning new things, helping others more efficiently or allowing for further career growth. If so, then this might be an opportunity worth exploring despite needing to work extra hours.

If I was offered a promotion with a higher salary, but it required me to work longer hours, I'd feel blessed by God. I'll need to think and pray about it before making any decisions as that would mean sacrificing some of my time for the cats - who are just so dear to me. However, being able to help out others more is something that resonates strongly in my heart so hopefully what's best will ultimately prevail. Thank you for considering me!

If I were offered a promotion with a higher salary, even if it required me to work longer hours, I would have to weigh the pros and cons. As a 42 year old father of two, working hard is important, but so is enjoying what life has to offer outside of work - namely sailing, hiking and traveling. Ultimately my decision-making process must be grounded in self respect; maintaining an overall positive outlook on life while accounting for financial stability.
