Do minimum work in the company, do maximum outside. Work with engineering & open source communities, and thought leadership in your space/domain, own the full knowledge and context that most ignore or fail to be updated on.

Switch jobs often. Better for promos, comp and the best, you don't have to play corporate games such as the ones you mentioned.

Work for managers that want to promote you, otherwise switch teams or companies.
Never ask for or work hard for a promotion. Work at ur pace, deliver da results. If you feel underappreciated/they start f*ing with you, LC and GTFO.
