I know the exact reasons.
- I did not explicitly ask to be groomed.
- I am less caring of my own branding.
I think the system we grew up in encouraged us to think that as long as we do our work well, we get rewarded fairly.
The real world is more about luck, networking and presenting oneself as well.

I’m afraid the system you grew up in is unreal. You cannot penalise ppl for their ability to network and present themselves well. Instead of complaining abt the system, why not work on improving yourself so that you are able to fit in the “real” world? If you do not care abt your “branding”, how would you expect others to notice you or how would others even consider promoting you? If you appear to be nonchalant abt yourself, most likely the management would assume that there is no point in promoting this staff as he/she also does not appear to care abt it.
