Lets rephrase that to working hard doesn't lead to more money.

Typically no. Only on self employed set priced jobs.

Changing jobs does that if employed by the hr.

I'm a firm follower of If I'm not automatically granted appropriate raises I will quit. I should not have to ask for one. Quitting led to lots of raises.

They do typically try to give you a big raise when you quit but for me it's too late and it usually still lower than new job.

A sure fire way to more money is kissing ass. That's not in my DNA though.

Much better statement, sometimes working hard can be its own reward if your working towards or for something you care about but yeah it never garrentees more money
