Very true, if one supervisor or manager tells another one you are working hard and dependable, you will start getting tasks from both of them. Once it spreads to store management they make you their go to person. That means they will dump lots of tasks on you and won’t want to promote you because that would make their own job more difficult. The only way working harder gets you promoted is if there are many hard working people in your store and they can replace a hard worker with another hard worker. The way they are cutting hours in many stores and with lots of freight. You shoot yourself in the foot by pushing yourself to the limits. They won’t give you a raise, because they are cutting payroll, they won’t promote you, because there is not replacement.
A great post from @YKZYzdO-uke that shines a good light on how hard work is rewarded at Lowe’s
