And now think about, who stays in such positions. Not the ambitious people. It's the risk averse, socially inept people. They will perform just enough to get by, simply because there's zero reward for any ambition.
You used all these words just to say nearly nothing - and even that bit is wrong.
It's not about "go getters" it's about people who know their value. Those are very different things. If I know my value, I won't stay in an underpaid job.
But if I don't know my value, I'll stay in a position that doesn't fit me, that frustrates me and I will be neither happy nor particularly productive.
If you would have bothered to actually read what I wrote, I advocated for these people you described. But in your rage against, I don't know, ducks, maybe? You decided to not think about what I wrote and instead came up with a worthless sob story.
Maybe you are exactly the kind of frustrated, underpaid, undervalued employee. Maybe you should not project your frustrations at other people.
