Steve's barking; The harder you work the more work you get

In my American world, the harder you work the more work you.
We have this here myth in America that if you work hard you get a head in the world.
In my time in the working world I and many like me (lower end workers) discovered that the harder you work the more work is put on you. If there is a mistake guess who's the one to be blamed the dude or dudess who works the hardest. Who in my world worries the most about doing a good job? You got the one who works the hardest. Now in the real world why doesn't the work be spread evenly.
Let me count the ways.
1 Friend of the boss.
2 Workers aren't trusted.
3 Fellow workers can't do the job as good.
4 Reliability of the hard worker.

In the real world not the American mythological world greeting up in the world getting up in the world usually takes three things.
In order.
1 Knowing the right people ( kissing the right butt).
2 Being bright.
3 Being in the right place at the right time.
4 Working hard, while learning while you work.
