you're gonna work the hardest .
you will deserve a promotion .
your peers will respect and recognize you for your efforts .
the company will earn a profit .
the store/business/restaurant will succeed because of your efforts .
you won't get the promotion because there will never be a position open .
your experience will be what keeps you getting the most high fives and pats on the backs .
you would still be getting paid the same or less than the new kid .
