According to a BBC News (Health) article earlier this week, getting promoted at work may be bad for a person's mental health.
More details:
- after promotion the quality of an individual's mental health deteriorated by 10 per cent on average.
- being given extra responsibility could lead to more stress, anxiety and depression.
- problems could be exacerbated by workers who were promoted having less time to access health services.
The research on which the article is based is said to contradict previous research in this area that suggests a person's job status directly results in better health.

I know exactly what you mean. My best friend was being promoted to manager, and he didn't accept because he said it will only stress him out. What's the use of earning so much if you can't have fun doing it and no time to spend the money?
