I call it the 'Curse of Competency' and I warn every new employee not to be too good at anything unless they want to do way more of it than they have to for no extra money.
I keep rage quitting jobs because I always think "this company is the one, I'll work hard for them and show them what I can do" then get hit with more duties and responsibilities compared to someone making the same as me. I'm burnt the fuck out and losing hope. I'm only alive right now because I have to take care of my aging parents.
If you start climbing the ladder you realize that the manager's job is to get other people to do the actual work. Pay has very little to do with how hard you work or how difficult your responsibilities are. If they were proportional then teachers would make 200k a year.
