I’ve seen this and have experienced this in a previous role. I’ve found those who can set boundaries and say no generally move up quicker than those who agree to do everything. Not all the time, but more often than not.

I think you have hit the nail on the head. If you are totally incompetent you are moved along, often even upwards. If very efficient in your work you are left alone.
