Having people competing all the time for the job above them that gets them just a little bit more pay is a scam. It causes people to see their fellow employees as competitors rather than as allies, and it keeps people focuses on working to attain the next rung on the ladder rather than questioning the system as a whole.

People who focus on the corporate ladder are being manipulated. They undermine the solidarity you have with your fellow workers so you want stand up to them together, they keep you thinking about climbing rather than tearing the system down and rebuilding it to protect themselves.

The average CEO to worker pay ratio in 2022 was 344 to 1. You can't climb your way out of that, the system is rigged and has to be rebuilt.

Solidarity for other workers above personal ambition. Rebuilding over climbing. This way all of us will be better off in the end.
