In fact taking on too much extra responsibility can actually lower my income because I work in a base+commission job. If I take too much time away from earning that commission, my income drops. So I've got to stay extra diligent. @Ryan: Thanks! @Ken: Thanks! Love that phrase... "MVP of the office". @Corporate Barbarian: Very true, and the same is pretty much true.

This has led to an increase in unpaid overtime to pick up the slack. The unpaid part had been a source of misery, but nobody is complaining now. I look at the extra work as an opportunity to learn some new job skills, and count my blessings. Although you may take on extra work, don't expect to be rewarded for it, as everyone is taking on extra work now. The time to be rewarded for extra work was before the current recession.
