I'm at a stage where I want to spend time with my spouse & kids. I don’t want to think about work 24/7. Been there, done that, not interested. I recently took a Sr PM role, below my level, hoping for more WLB, but pretty quickly I was asked to take on more responsibility. Old habits die hard so like a dumbass I said yes.

No promo, just more responsibility. It sucks. I would really like to dial back and do my original job. How would you pull back from something like this without looking bad?

Time to whip out the resume I fear

Talk to your manager and explain what you wrote above. Any well intentioned manager can help you figure out a path. Maybe there's mentorship you can offer to a hungry PM that wants to take on more responsibility

That would probably be a good idea. I need to get out of the "it's easier to do it myself" mindset and get better at transferring knowledge

Not fun but you can list out all responsibilities and ask your leadership to prioritize. Then you can tell them what won’t be done without additional resources. Maybe they can spring for consultant/contractor for priority overflow. Best of luck.
