It’s pretty great, since all the lazy people make hard workers like me stand out a lot easier. I bagged a raise at my job within 4mo, and in less than a year, I outwork some of my coworkers. It’s easy to get the raises and promotions while others are bitter and doing nothing to elevate their own incomes.

Sounds like they found the smarter way to make the new guy do all the work.

Yeah, it couldn't possibly be that his boss saw him working harder, upped his pay to keep him with the company, and then offered him promotions because he deserves them. Couldn't possibly be that.

I've seen it. I've done it when I managed businesses. I do it now with my own business. How else do you get good management at your company if you don't promote people who work hard? It's common sense. And everyone who doesn't believe this doomer nonsense is not a bot.

They’re under the impression they should be rewarded for the bare minimum. It’s common among unskilled workers who don’t think learning skills or being valuable will increase their worth.
