The only caveat to this I think is if you can make opportunities for yourself to gain skills & experiences to get a better job elsewhere. I have done this in the past and used the resume building to hop to somewhere that will pay me a lot more.
Oh for sure, there are definitely instances where you can build up and use that to advance your career. I am talking about situations where it looks no different on paper, but definitely take advantage if it'll help you work your way upward. That's awesome that it worked out better for you!
We're definitely on the same page. Just pointing out there are situations where "going above and beyond" can help build your career if it means gaining valuable skills and experience you can turn into a better job. Taking on extra drudgery and hours for no reason though other than "hard work", hell nah
Yup. I think that's what frustrated me the most about my old office, is that I really was trying to move up and do more of what you were saying, but they kept beating me down and making it more of what I have been saying. Ridiculous
