You used all these words just to say nearly nothing - and even that bit is wrong.
It's not about "go getters" it's about people who know their value. Those are very different things. If I know my value, I won't stay in an underpaid job.
But if I don't know my value, I'll stay in a position that doesn't fit me, that frustrates me and I will be neither happy nor particularly productive.
If you would have bothered to actually read what I wrote, I advocated for these people you described. But in your rage against, I don't know, ducks, maybe? You decided to not think about what I wrote and instead came up with a worthless sob story.
Maybe you are exactly the kind of frustrated, underpaid, undervalued employee. Maybe you should not project your frustrations at other people.
