The question is, Does management appreciate you, or is their stance, “You can always be replaced?” I worked hard for 43 years in a hospital, truly cared about my patients and smooth function of the division, while most of the nurses sat on their ass doing the minimum. You only got anywhere if you kept your mouth shut and kissed ass, doing administration bidding. I was out spoken, said it like it was. I wasn’t appreciated. Those who don’t and won’t tow the line, never are. My eyes are open to what the nursing profession, medical profession and hospitals really are. Mistakes were made by our residents, but the blame was put on nurses. Changes were made, but the nurses shouldered the burden while the residents continued their sloppy, rushed work treating infants like a non person. I had two months to early retirement or another year. I took the former option and have never regretted it. The hospital administration tries to squeeze as much work out of you and then squeezes some more. They do not care about patients, only if the patient gives a bad review. Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals is a scam, as is State Maternity Licensure. The hospital chooses the charts to be audited, you know when they are coming so a thorough cleaning can be done (other times it looks like a pig sty). It is all a game.
The secret is for you to serve your customers as if you are serving the Lord, do not kiss the companies ass at all but speak truth even if it angers them but make sure you have let your work and results speak for themselves before you let them know you are not a respecter of men.
Don’t ever look to impress mgmt. Get that out of your head. Work hard, be honest, treat people like you’d want to be treated. The rest will fall into place in due time.
Your manager plays lesser a role in a promotion than the corporate culture itself. Its their job to get the most out of you and some will lie their asses off to that end.
If there are clearly people being promoted and you want to be one of them. Make it known. If you want a raise, make it known. Its not uncommon to see people who may be lesser qualified and less hard working be the ones who get promoted solely due to them making their desire to move forward known.
Think of it this way. If you make sure they are aware of what you want. And they can answer you on what it would take for you to get there, you are no longer working your ass off hoping someone notices. You are focused on te he things they said you need to do for the promotion. Keep record, track it. And bring it to them every so often.
Management wants you to think you are never irreplaceable to keep you subservient. My manager, this was at a military Exchange, let someone know that no one is indispensable. I no longer work there due to mandatory vaccine policy. Funny though, when they eased up on the vaccine requirement for like two months, they sure wanted me back. Too bad, so sad.
Without knowing a little bit more about your situation, this applies for large companies (1k+ people), but might work elsewhere :
Dress for the job you want, not the one you have. Start making useless charts and diagrams and barking orders at your equals. I'm kidding of course but only partly ... inspire your equals to look up to you instead of managment. The idea is to do a better job at management than your manager, their manager will see that.
Your manager is too busy doing the above to move up the food chain to notice you.
Always be positive, to the point of annoyance, and unseemingly enthusiastic, they love that, and volunteer to be on the safety team, that's what I did.
The secret is finding an organization that has competent management that respects and values hard work. Can't shine in a shithole.
This, and work to impress yourself, not for that pat on the back that is not coming. Find a job satisfying enough you need no outside affirmation.
Almost every place I've ever worked was a comedy in management, you can shine a light in every dark corner.

Come to work dressed as the opposite sex. Guarantee you’ll have their FULL attention…wondering what to do about you.
Need m9re diversity in upper mgmt. Promotion time
Management has nothing to do with working hard or doing a good job.
Outsmart them, they are disconnected and useless anyway.
Get vaxx, lick BLM boots, wear pride pin, mindlessly OBEY.

Their way of getting you to work harder.
I'm impressed when a new guy lasts all week here.
People are lazy as fuck. My boss is always hiring, no one wants to show up. It's a tit job. I don't get why it's so hard to find people.
Must be the wages
Depends on the company you are with and the country you are in.

Read of Daniel in the Holy Bible, it holds a lot of answers.
