I work for a bank delivering shares to the NY stock exchange. There are 2 other people who do the recieves. One of the guys who does the recieves is transfering to another department soon, and my boss wants me to take over his position. This is probablly the worst, most stress-filled job in the company (hence why the guy is transfering departments, he's only been doing it 8 months and he wants out). On a scale of 1 to 10, deliveries is a 3. Recieves is an 8, 9 on a bad day. I by no means want this job. The amount of email alone is enough to drown you.

Is there a way to decline the job, without looking bad, not a team player, or lazy?

Can I decline because they aren't gonna give me a raise?

One of the biggest problems for me personally though, I would have to work earlier and later.

I think I'm going to have to take the position though. How can I turn this around? How would I get a HUGE raise for doing it (like at least 3k more a year)? Or some other fringe benefits
