I'm kind of an high performer and it's not so simple. The first thing is that you need to flight under the radar most of the time. It doesn't pay to do 10x all the time (and realistically you can't constantly in all facets of your job), you need to do 1.5x most of the time and then do 10x when it's most needed and most clear to everyone that you just saved the day. The second thing is that I never said no to more money. It's a job, your boss and colleagues are people who work with you. Occasionally they can become friends but not automatically and not most of the time.
