As unfair as it might seem, simply working hard is not what gets people raises and promotions. Working hard on whatever the boss thinks is important, does. A boss wants to know that he or she can count on you not just for solid work but also for being willing to go the extra mile even before you're asked. Bosses look for team players, not prima donnas. Helping fellow co-workers whenever you get the chance is a great opportunity.
Nobody can afford enemies easily.
Otherwise, your fellow workers will view you as a climbing, self-centered opportunist. All rights reserved.
