That would work in an normal company. Ive been with this one for five years, being the best at every position they put me in - mostly because I type fast enough that if I screw up I can fix it before they notice. But in five years the only promotions I have seen are for people that are in the big bosses inner circle (play golf with him every weekend and drive a BMW), or have played the race card (as horrible as that sounds it is the only reason two of my bosses have gotten their jobs, and they admitted it).
Case in point, we are on a ticketing system now. One of my coworkers (they sycophantic one), bitched to the boss that I was making her do more work than everyone else (we have a color code on emails coming to a group inbox, if it is something someone was working on, we code it in their color - apparently this is a bad idea). So the boss lady secretly told her to color everything in my color to "see how he likes it," and told me I have to work whatever is in my color. Well after a week of doing this the big brass noticed that out of the 300 tickets a day my team makes, I was making 170ish of them, the coworker made around 4. So this lead to me having a sitdown about doing too much work and making her and the rest of the team look bad to the brass. The main reason I am still with the company is that I am moving in the near future and the company has an office in the town I am moving too and if I can get in that department I can skate along for a bit.
Thanks Key-Glyph - Im hoping it works out.

Called into work this morning, had the most insane diarrhea ever. Finally think I'm okay at 5pm... lol.
