When I went out of my way to fix things and make it better, I ended up getting promotions, but YMMV.

    The way it worked for me:

    Go out of my way to make things better -> get promotion and pay raise -> go out of my way to make things better again -> no promotion or pay raise -> do the absolute bare minimum -> big pay raise

    Maybe they thought I enjoyed improving processes just to do it and saw it takes money to keep me doing it once I stopped.

    Or maybe the forces that determine whether I get more money are beyond my understanding.

    Where im from that guarantees you never get promoted. To get promoted you need to fuck up so badly (also be the bosses friend too) that you get promoted away from where you can cause damage.
