Not even if you do valuable or efficent stuff for the company. You're disposable.

The company is always on the lookout for ways to replace you with somebody who will do more for less.

And in the meantime, they will squeeze you for every drop of effort they think they can get away with.

Or less for less. I know a woman who is a manager of a dialysis clinic, as soon as she was making over 100k she started getting pushback from higher ups, having more oversight, and having her funds for extra services to patients / staff cut. It's clear they want her out even though she has the lowest mortality in the region, because they don't need more than beds filled (Medicaid pays) and legally required minimums to be met.
