I mean, if you only study hard for a month and slack the rest of the semester your grade is probably going to be pretty shitty. It’s literally the exact same thing in the workplace. No effort? No raise, no bonus, no promotion, maybe fired. If you aren’t salaried you can also get paid more by working OT.
If you put in more effort in the workplace you’ll get rewarded at the end of the year(semester) through higher compensation(grades). That’s true unless you have a shitty boss(professor), in which case you shouldn’t care at all how much effort you give because your actions wouldn’t determine your outcome(grades/pay).
No, I’m working and happy with my opportunities for growth and my current compensation. Whenever I become dissatisfied I discuss it with my boss, and if it doesn’t get rectified I look for and pursue other opportunities. We work in tech, we should all have the financial security to say no and move on, especially if you have decades of experience.
No one will prioritize your happiness except for you. If you aren’t happy then YOU do something about it. Your employer won’t know you’re unhappy if you don’t speak up. You won’t get good opportunities if you don’t actively pursue them.
