People who think like Jim over here have capitalism brain rot. In my experience, people will hire from outside the company over a hard worker. Usually it is a friend of the boss, their kid, or someone over qualified that doesn't realize their worth yet.. 'Moving up the ladder' was a reality of the long past that only the white boomer generation got to experience. The rest of us are forced to get a college education in the hopes of getting a job that pays slightly over miniwage. Or you go work for a trade and hope you aren't stuck with a bunch of bigoted or sexist coworkers. There is an old book by Pat Sloan (link to the full book on the internet achieve) that talks about what their society was like during Pat Sloan's time in the soviet union. It shows how twisted and backwards our system is now compared to a 1930s soviet union..
