Nor will they see raises over 2%.
I know someone will respond with "not all employers". That's great, but I've yet to find one that actually rewards extra/hard work and provides merit based advances. They just provide false promises.

I learned fairly quickly in my career that companies don't care about you, you're just a number to them. So I've done my job well enough to make my numbers good but I never worried about putting in extra time or going the extra mile. And whenever I've gained enough experience to expect a pay bump I've always gotten it by switching employers, any internal promotions I've gotten have paled in comparison
Work life becomes much easier when you play the same game that they do
