Sigaba,
Agreed. My point regarding upward mobility wasn't just outside the company, one could be upwardly mobile within the same company and even in the same position; as GC pointed out, there are reasons for staying in the same company and/or position if the work environment suits the employee.
As far as enough to live on, I would love for my income less living expenses to plateau, unfortunately, where I live, my living expenses go up regardless of my salary, and so does my tax bracket. The same could be said for many others.
I try to avoid to allowing what I do define who I am, income or otherwise. To each his own.
