It really depends what company you work in. There are a lot of places where how much people like you determines how you are compensated. You can appear productive while you’re the one who is constantly creating the problems that you swoop in and fix to save the day.
Half of my jobs didn’t rewarded people on performance.
Hell, I got demoted during a reorganization and was told my current performance merited my previous title but because I didn’t perform at that level 9 months ago, I was demoted. And they promoted someone older than me into my previous position purely because of his age. He did not meet any of the requirements for it.

I think this is true literally everywhere. Another factor may be competence, but of similar people, the one whom is liked will probably earn more than the other.
