    Tom Paris made lieutenant, was busted back to ensign, and then promoted to lieutenant again while Harry stayed an ensign.

    Clearly we can infer that off screen, he was an absolutely miserable excuse for Starfleet.

      But we know the reason: according to Insaneway there always has to be an ensign on the bridge.

      Yeah, although when he got back to Earth, they made up for it by making him fleet admiral.
