It sounds like you should be able to run the table with so little competition. Why not engage, take on more responsibility, and obviously stand out to get more money and influence?

Because, as has been mentioned innumerable times in this thread, going through all that extra effort does not get you more money. It gets you more stress and a target on your back when you make a mistake.

Bingo - sorry, this was a mostly rhetorical question.

When you perform well at work and you do NOT get a share of the profits then all you shall be rewarded with is more work. Why? WTFC???

Because you won't be rewarded with money and influence while still having the same risks of layoffs.

At this point you're better off working on your own thing because the company is usually, always with few exceptions mind you, a dishonest actor that is openly hostile.

The elites can't blame the state of the world on workers when they've created out hellscape of treadmills to delusion and abandonment.

Yep. The only reward in a place that doesn’t care is time.

I am in a proper place now, but I regret not getting a second job in my previous fintech job.
