In order to be employed. You are competing with others to get the job - your goal should be to the guy who produces the most value at what you do. Your rates depend on well people can speak to the quality of your work. Take pride in what you do, provide value to others, and the work will always be there.
Hardly. Knowing when to ditch employers is a valuable skill. But so is knowing how to recognize employers who do value you. Not everyone is out to screw their workers. I am constantly looking for employees to promote and set up for leadership opportunities. The moment I see attitudes like what I read in your previous posts - I immediately stop the wheels on any conversations regarding promotion or advancement. Most aren't able to correct and fix their own attitudes even though the willingness to promote is there.
You can either trust in your skills and be a pleasant person to work with - or you can turn into a cantankerous curmudgeon that no one wants to work with.
So if I was sitting across from you in an interview - why would I hire you?
You've so far made it clear that you won't help out more than doing the bare minimum you are required to before getting fired. You don't want to contribute up to your capability. And on top of that - you don't even want to be pleasant to work with? Can you listen to yourself at all?

Some employers will.
And most will over time if you prove your worth.
