A colleague of mine left because he no longer wanted to do additional work for the same salary. I'm interested in what you think, should a person accept a promotion without a raise?
However, as much as the idea of getting a promotion without salary increase may not sound appealing, maybe there is some benefit in such a promotion if it makes it easier to get a better job somewhere else.

OP, just so that you know…. Getting promoted to the same salary is called a LATERAL move, not a promotion. That’s Lesson #1 in Chevron 101.
It's all about strategy folks. A higher PSG with the same pay is still more money as your CIP factor goes up, and you get closer to the PSG you desire. Don't stress of climbing to high because you could be out of a job if there not as many higher level PSG jobs in future reorganizations.

Dry promotions are common, but keep in mind that your salary will raise to the mean of your new grade over the next three years.
The classic career ladder promotion. Do the work of the grade above you for at least a year before the company is willing to pay you more for the increased responsibility. They do it because they can. Notice the higher grade promotion are all placed.
People leave for all sorts of complicated reasons which they themselves may not even understand. Don’t worry about it. It’s probably none of your business.
Absolutely! You will have a much lower CO so your future raises will be much better. Historically it should take about 3-4 years to reach 100% CO.
