Yeah at this point I'm trying to find the quiet quitting balance. Working hard will not make my raise any higher than 1.5%. What's the point in going above and beyond if you don't get anything for it?
I understand your point and have felt that way myself when leadership hasn't appreciated what I have to offer. However, the current leadership does see what I do and appreciates it. A certain awful TL is no longer at my store and that makes a big difference.
Plus, even on those days I can't get everything done, I get the most important parts done and leave the rest of it for my next shift (or the one after that). I take satisfaction in knowing I've done the best I can. And I find a lot of satisfaction in having the respect of other TMs who've been around for a long time.
Also, I just got a performance bonus, which I really didn't expect because I got one last year so I assumed that I wasn't even on the list of possibilities. So sometimes you do get something for going above and beyond.
