>> But as it stands today, someone who will tell their boss "yes, I'll get that done", especially after hours or beyond standard expectations will get promoted more often than not. It's just the way it is.

That is…unfortunately, exactly the opposite of what happens more often than not.

More often than not - promotions are accrued through social credit and personal preference.

You will quite often see the hardest working people get passed by for a promotion for the manager’s friend, etc.

Your ‘objective observation’ is…not accurate.

If this was the way it was - we wouldn’t need laws related to racism, sexism, etc in hiring practices.

I don’t know what kind of idealistic fantasy America you’re imagining up, but in the real one that exists on Earth these are serious problems.
