Dear Doremi.
It is important to earn that which you have worked for, as that is fair. Keeping that in mind, you should not have to overwork for what you earn, nor under-work so you may acquire. Your CEOs are happy with your work, and you do have the skills. While that is important, you might have missed something that is quite important too.
If you notice the trend of your workplace, promoting people they have known long term is a sign that your company bases their decisions on trust earned.
That being said, you don’t have to be a long term worker to be trusted. Just improve your relations with people in your workplace on a human level, which is great for you and your workplace environment. In time when you will earn their trust as well, keeping you head low, you will move up as you get closer to them.
It is always best to not acquire things, even if things may seem unfair. You are being taught about trust right now, just go with the flow.
May relief come your way.
