Meanwhile, I have someone on my team who was hired a month after me and into the same role, and they haven't been promoted once. They seem fairly capable, but that little green dot in Slack sure is off a lot.
Obviously, I've been fortunate, but slacking off can have hidden costs as well.

Yep, all of these discussions come down to managing your career effectively.
I see posts in a couple places on reddit asking about working from a different company or things like OP, and the answer should be the same every time... manage your career.
Obviously, there's a lot of gray area.. people have shitty managers, they can't just quit their job tomorrow, etc.... yet, they don't often actually put in the work to even have a chance of good things happening and then bitch about it to anyone who will listen.
Generally speaking, there's often more work to be done if you're lacking work. Managers aren't universally scumbags and will work with employees on things like moonlighting, working remotely, etc. And if they don't... well, either weigh the risk of getting fired, find another primary job, or **** around and find out. :shrug:
