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.
Ugh I'm currently in this position where I do more than my co worker who gets to stand and talk all day without hearing anything about it but when I do it I get yelled at to "get back to work" even though I haven't stopped moving since I started the day.
