Woman's bleak conspiracy theory about the kinds of workers who will 'NEVER' get promoted is hailed as 'painfully true'

A millennial content creator's conspiracy theory about why the most talented and hard-working people will 'never' get promoted has been branded 'painfully true' by disgruntled employees. 

Jacqueline Morris frequently posts about her life on her TikTok account, where she has amassed more than 7,500 followers.

The Maine-based social media pro recently took to the video-sharing platform to discuss something different from her usual content. She ignited the conversation about 'corporate structures' as she claimed that being nice to your employees and being a great worker won't get you anywhere. 

In a viral video, which has so far amassed more than 5.6million views, Jacqueline - who didn't reveal her line of work - suggested that employers refuse to give more money to workers who are friendly and good at their profession because they 'know they can keep serving you s**t on a platter and you will eat it with a smile'.

She captioned the clip: 'But if I take a week off everything falls apart? It isn't adding up.'

At the beginning of the video, she told her followers that her corporate 'conspiracy theory' is the 'hill [she] will die on'.

'If you are both good at your job and a pleasure to work with, like you have a good personality, you will never be promoted,' she explained. 

She noted that those in junior positions thought they had to be kind and productive to get a promotion, while those in 'executive' slots were neither friendly or good at their jobs. 

'If you are a VP or director level, you can either be really good at your job or a pleasure to work with, you don't have to be both,' she added. 

Jacqueline claimed that the people who were doing the actual work would often stay at the bottom of the corporate pool without achieving any credit or affirmation for their performances. 

'If you're down here where all the actual work is being done, it's not being directed, it's not being strategized, they will never allow an employee who is both good at doing the work and good at keeping a smile on their face while doing the work move up that ladder,' she said.

The content creator noted that this was because employers knew that friendly workers wouldn't complain.
