Many high-achievers undertake extra responsibilities outside their scope of work, with 4 in 10 saying they spend about 30% of their workday performing additional duties. These people are usually the first ones to arrive and leave, and their evaluations are always glowing. But some of them still aren’t getting promoted.
Redditor Sarchasm-Spelunker has found themselves in a similar situation. Working for a tech company, they accumulated extra duties that they didn’t mind doing, as the position was fairly simple. But when they applied for several promotions, the boss chose newbie coworkers instead of them every time.
Despite many efforts, the employee realized that they weren’t going any further in the company and decided to “quiet quit.”
