Well said.

If any new hires want to test this, simply ask your interviewer about the opportunities for advancement for the role you're interviewing for, as well as the ways the company rewards good performers, initiative, and efficiency. They will 100% give you an excited, optimistic view of how there's plenty of opportunity at this company and how effort and initiative are rewarded with bonuses, raises, promotions, etc.

...ask about any of those opportunities again in 2 years.

"Your work was perfect and thanks to your continued efforts going above and beyond we achieved record profits. Unfortunately the budget doesn't allow any raise this year."

The most likely answer to get in 2 years.
