Acting your wage will atrophy your abilities.
This is a hard truth to swallow for those people toiling away in a job where their value isn't being compensated accordingly.
But it is true nonetheless. Don't hurt yourself to spite them. Stay on top of your game while looking for a better employer.
I agree that it sounds like "management-speak." I'm a manager, so... yeah. Why trust me? Because I've been there. It's one reason I'm focusing my career more on management now. To be part of the good side.
