Bear in mind that not everyone is particularly career-focused. I'm perfectly happy getting "meets expectations" at annual reviews, and if I'm not happy with the pay rise (as happened to me last week), I'm happy looking for another job to get the bump I want.
People who bother to go on HN probably skew more towards career-focused than not, but plenty of people are very happy doing the work given to them and no more.
