Oh my goodness, it happens elsewhere!  

This has been my personal experience at my last 2 jobs.
The lack of recognition for plain old hard work was 
limited to neglible/no raises and lack of promotions.
You were also shunned from perks like paid overtime - 
just expected to keep up on your own time; while 
those with brown noses supplemented their income with ease.

The only thing that keeps me trying and not "kissing" 
is the hope that this is not becoming the norm.
Personally I don't like knee pads.
