This. There are generally two ways you get promotions and raises - you ask, beg, scream until you get it or you have someone above you in the company looking out for you and takes care of you in this area.

I believe most folks tend to depend on the latter strategy too often (they're afraid to ask for more money and responsibility because they might just get it!) and then stay unhappy in their job because you rarely have someone better than yourself looking out for you...
