If I worked hard and wasn't rewarded for it, my conclusion would be to switch employers—not to cut back on my work ethic. Working hard has basically made my career. I'm not substantially smarter than most of the people I've worked with, but I got rapid promotions basically exclusively from going above and beyond. I respect not everyone wants to do that, but it's concerning that people increasingly don't even see the value in caring.
