The people in my workplace that I respect the most and that are the most competent are the ones least interested in career politics and promotions. Heck they even often reject management responsibilities. They just want to do good work and management gets that and gets out of their way. In contrast, there is this guy constantly thinking what he could so to make an impression and talks about compensation and RSUs and cliffs and he is stuck where he already was 6 years ago and nobody would consider him for promotion ever.
