I am very much interested in answers to this question as well. My company is pushing me that way and I don't like managing/leading other people and I feel like I am already assigned to too much responsibility
Recently I got promoted, even though I told my manager I am not interested in promotion if it means additional work or responsibilities. I was clear about me feeling burned out in how I work already. She told me that the promotion would be more of a reward for the work I did, not because of additional exceptions
When my promotion got accepted and she told me about it in a 1-1, looks like she forgot about all that stuff and ended the meeting with something like "we will talk about the responsibilities later"
I felt like my heart sank after that last bit. Admittedly nothing really changed yet and we never had such talk but I am very worried of it. I got assigned to onboarding of a new employee so maybe that is a start

Sorry for hijacking your thread
Bait and switch seems to be widely used by mangers in situations like this.
In your inital negotiation, you informally agree on some conditions.
Then slowly,over the course of weeks or months, most points change to what your manager wanted.
