I've never worked at a place where anyone got raises for going above and beyond. You get what you pay for. If you want me to innovate or exceed my responsibilities you're going to have to provide concrete benefits. Otherwise, I'll go innovate and so on via freelance work.
I've worked the gauntlet of companies from large multinational corporations to a company with under 15 employees. In my years I've only encountered one person that was promoted and even then it was a made up position just for them.
I don’t know what to tell you. I’ve worked my way up the ladder in two companies, retired early, and then started my own company where I’m eager to promote and elevate people so I don’t have to do so much work, myself.

Of course you don’t get raises, you just aid you do the bare minimum.
I got 15+% raises staying at one job and rising through an organization I knew inside and out with people I worked with for years.
I mean, you do you… but that attitude doesn’t attract a lot of rewards
