Wage disparity is getting worse and it's getting harder to get those companies to give those upgrades. They're doing the opposite and just firing people to shed money for reports that make record numbers.
Decent companies that reward people for hard work still exist. But they're no longer the default. You're not going to get this in a cafe or in a fast food job or anything like that, It's going to have to be a skilled labor job in a corporation run by someone who's not a greedy monster which can be kind of a hard find these days.
You're going to need to be pleasant to be around, You might need to brown nose a little bit. Your may you need to point out to your boss that you're doing a good job, don't be afraid to point out your accomplishments.
If you put in the hours and work hard and can't get anywhere change jobs. When your interviewing for new jobs openly point out that you work hard and you're looking for compensation for that. If that hiring manager smirks or makes a face you don't want to work there. Remember your interviewing them maybe even more so than their interviewing you if you already have a job.
