HR thinks I take too much overtime and my boss thinks I don’t work hard enough for a promotion

They seem to think I don't need to work all those hours cause l'm not supporting multiple people even though I'm helping several ppl outside our org on different projects or they now want me to start clocking in and out once it's past 8 hrs. Plus as support I can’t dictate my schedule when requests or questions come in. I'm always having to check my email on my phone but I guess that anxiety of being “on” isn't enough. They also don't pay enough and without the overtime it makes it very difficult to live. When I was hired I was told there was overtime to help with that so what changed? My boss and me had a performance review and we had talked about a promotion, we had a restructure last year and ppl were asking if I was a coordinator and I had to ask then to…

They also don't pay enough and without the overtime it makes it very difficult to live. When I was hired I was told there was overtime to help with that so what changed? My boss and me had a performance review and we had talked about a promotion, we had a restructure last year and ppl were asking if I was a coordinator and I had to ask then to clarify and voiced my interest in being promoted. There was no mention of a bad performance. The person who was laid off and I took over their desk (my boss was laid off too) wasn’t happy about me or the situation and I only got a desk bible and that’s it, no formal training on what a coordinator position entails at this company. I find every company is different in my industry. What I feel like what could have been a simple conversation has turned into a whole big HR thing. I’ve been here for 2 years no problems and my praises were sung. I don’t know what happened and I am starting to get the feeling there might be ulterior motives. My industry is very political too. I want to get promoted that was the whole point of this job to finally get promoted within but I'm starting to think I need to look elsewhere even if it’s at the same level and start all over again. I'm very upset to say the least.
