I mean, it’s nice to get recognition still. If you never got a raise, then it would become a problem and you should handle it as such. But if you’re doing your job and already getting paid for it, then you’re already getting rewarded. The company making profit is exactly why you’re still working and can be paid, so unless you’re doing something you were not hired for I don’t see the issue with giving a little extra non financial attention.
If you contribute to the profit, you should get a fair share of the profit. And not some pennies while those higher in the hierachy reap most of the profit for themselves.
I think it boils down to asking what the purpose of a company is. In my opinion, a company should be a vehicle to sustain and enhance the lives of all employed by it. Your paycheck should be your minimum compensation, with windfall profits mostly split amongst the employees so that the maximum number of contributors benefit from it.
I’m ok with the idea of there being a sliding scale within reason because I understand that the company leadership holds a lot of the legal liability, but the CEO getting a yacht and the desk clerk getting a candy bar just doesn’t really cut it.

If you’re really lucky, the CEO might show you a picture of the third yacht your hard work and dedication got him!
Casually admitting you let yourself getting abused by your boss and assuming everyone else does.
