I’ve accepted more responsibility without asking for a raise right away but after a good amount of time and once you’ve proven to be capable of carrying that responsibility, you should ask for a raise. I’ve never felt guilty when thinking about not accepting additional responsibility though.
I've done it a few times, but not out of guilt. It's been either A: I know this is going to land on my desk anyway and with a tight deadline or B: the only other person that will get asked isn't qualified and I'll have to walk him through it anyway.
There was also a time when I found out that my boss had delegated ALL of his work to me. I didn't realize it until he left the company years later and I was promoted to his post and required zero training...
NEVER!...well maybe not never, but RARELY! A company to me is always trying to get free labor from us. So I consciously try not to do anything "free". Like I try to either get more money for the extra work at hand (if it's not part of my current objective), a benefit for something down the road, or even something as trivial as coming in later (or leaving sooner if you prefer) because they can at least pay me back with a few minutes of sleep or free time at home. I never want it to feel like I'm a volunteer or you can take advantage of my work.
I will say it's hard sometimes only because you feel like you're letting your peers down, but once you realize this is work and not a sports team where sacrifice is something everyone agrees on, I don't feel so bad and I realize even my co workers understand and most even respect it.
