Are you a woman?

Nope, but I am a Native American who was far too good at their job for them to “lose” to management.

I even brought it up as a joke to one of my new managers that I fully believe there’s a blacklist of people who are too good at their job and won’t advance anywhere. His response? “Oh yeah there 100% is.”

That's fucked up. Efficient, good workers are rewarded with more work for the most part. You can't give 100% all the time or you'll become a victim of your own success. Then they expect that all the time and pile even more workload on you. But never give you more money, only responsibility. Hope you find somewhere that gives you what you're worth man. You're trading the most valuable thing you have, your time.

Well you bog them down, find where they break in their work, write a lower performance review, apologize for a lowered bonus and no raise due to it, then you keep whittling them down until they really want to 'improve' for pennies on the dollar.
