The economy doesn't give a damn how smart you are: What value can you bring?
Promotions are not all based on competency. If you're too good at your job you're sometimes better staying where you are.
Promote the one less competent who will appreciate the position and are more likely to stick around.
Why are many pensioners retired with absolutely nothing to their name?
Where's the examples out there showing the fruits of your labor?
Why do so many companies pay only a fraction above what the government says you have to by law. Can we not do better than this?

Once you get your foot in the door nobody cares about that degree anyway. Can you do the job? Perhaps just as well without a degree.

Where's the top down loyalty? Does it even exist? I'll care about the company as much as you care about me. That's surely fair right?
I'm the perfect employee. I don't smoke. I don't drink. I've had no employment gaps. Right out of school straight into education. The perfect citizen.
I don't know the unwritten rules of this workplace. Can we write them out please?

Gimme a break.
