How to approach promotion XP
A while back I posted about my horrible job. I put my feelers out for something else and didn't get any bites. But things at my job have improved greatly.
Our "lead" photographer is still not doing his job. My coworker works with him frequently and is subjected to all of the bull shit. She emailed our manager and the manager told her she gave our lead a call. He yelled at our manager over the phone and went off on her.
She had the forsite to keep him until someone else is hired and/or end of the year. That way the rest of us are not overworked.
My question is this: how do I approach my manager for a promotion to lead?
I had asked for less hours before because I was working 40+ hours a week part time (no overtime pay). I was feeling overworked, under appreciated, taken advantage of, etc. My manager and coworker brought up the possibility of me becoming lead to replace who we have now. I declined because I needed the break mentally and emotionally (it was affecting me physically). Now I'm feeling better and would like the position (if she wants to give it to me).
I have no issues at all working full time if I'm hired as full time. And I would also like a pay increase since it does involve more responcability.
I've never been in this position before. Please help.

I've been working the correct number of hours I was hired for (part time) and no longer feel how I did months ago.
I know I would need to talk to my manager first about the possibility of becoming lead. After that I'm not sure what happens.
I would keep the reason why you turned down the lead previously vague. If you go into something about not being able to handle it emotionally, mentally and physically, she may wonder if that could happen again and it could give her reason to not promote you. So just say that at the time, you weren't ready/prepared for it, but now you are. Keep it simple. You can talk about how you've gotten more acquainted with the duties over the last x months or something, but I don't think you need or want to go into too much detail.
Good luck!
