Any increase in compensation will depend on the policy of the company.

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Maybe it's time to reevaluate your priorities...
Maybe it's time to ask yourself if this job is something that is not posing very creative challenges...
Where there are people, there will always be politics and this has to be managed. How do you do that? By raising your emotional quotient.
Reading books on this may help, but in the current state, you can ask a senior from the office who can be trusted to step in as a role model or anyone else who has been in the industry for a good number of years and has been successful at people management.
Learn from them and this could be a way in which you can navigate and course though in your work place. As for working round the clock, it could be time management or you are possibly spending time worrying about the politics and losing your job that you may have ended up taking on more work in order to please your team or manager. This is just a thought and you can think further about it...

All the best!
