I've been told that I'm in line for a promotion (across the agency, no one else on my team is getting promoted), but that the bureaucracy is holding things up... in this economy, I don't feel like I can ask for much more than that.  I feel like my boss is great and he really appreciates me (he is fighting for my promotion), and I'm doing meaningful work in my field. It feels like most things are going pretty well, I just wish they paid me more and could share the work more evenly on the team. [/quote]

it sounds like you are gov???   Are you being clear with your boss that you don't want more work right now?

In management- I see this a lot.  Junior employees working late.  Sometimes they are working late b/c they 'have more work' sometimes they are working late b/c they are relatively new and don't work as efficiently, and sometimes they are working late b/c they appear to spend their entire day socializing.   If you really think you have more work- the next time you get a new assignment say 'how should I prioritize this new project with respect to A,B and C???  b/c I can't complete them all on deadline."   And then leave on time.
Things changed dramatically for me, when I realized that spending time with my family was way more important than moving ahead. [/quote]
