This happened to my father. Dedicated his whole life to one company. Did crazy overtime. Was well liked by the entire staff and management. Received all kinds of accolades. He always wanted to be upper management and was told if he worked hard enough he'd get it. He's retiring in 3 years. He's never been given an upper management job. He goes in and does the bare minimum now.
