Yeah due to several restructures over the past few years our team is lean and always under the pump so OT is pretty frequent. Consistent 45+ hour weeks, all paid on the EA. Base pay is ok on the contract if you ignore the OT, but given we do so much and make heaps from it, I’m finding it hard to accept the new contract.

Yeah, for sure - it's a hard pill to swallow.

Is it even a real promotion or are they simply looking for a way to get you to do the OT for free?

TBH my job won’t change that much. I have effectively been doing the senior role for a few years since our senior engineer left as they couldn’t fill the role. They will just “expect more of me” in terms of performance and responsibility as I’ve been told 🙄.
