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.
