It is easy to become complacent in your job, especially if you have been there a while or have lost interest in it. You may feel that you only go to work to get paid and that you simply do not enjoy what you are doing anymore. If this is the case, it is very easy to become complacent and not put in much effort. You may be doing the bear minimum in terms of the quality of the work you produce and the time you spend at work. For some, their job is just that. It is not really a career that they want to progress in, just a way to pay the bills.  For others, a job is something they want to enjoy and maybe they used to but they have lost their way. If this is the case, then it may be time to start looking for new employment or make an effort to make some changes in your current position.

If you want to be given more responsibility, you may find that you are shooting yourself in the foot by not trying very hard. You are unlikely to receive a promotion unless you can show that you are giving it your all and are a reliable, hard worker.
