Yea, I used to believe that fairy tale. "Just wait! The quality of your work will speak for itself" is nonsense. Reality is, for every person who uses the Hope And Prayer career development strategy, there's another person who hustles, self-promotes, or brown-noses their way into promotion after promotion. In most places, a raise that I get is a raise that you don't get, so you really have to think about it as a competition.
