It's a translation, and a poor one.
"The higher you climb, the more your ass shows. The more your ass shows ... the more you beg to be kicked in the ass."
Basically, it means that the more you try to get higher-paying, better jobs in a company, the more the people you used to work with dislike you.

I have to agree with Erik. A shorter way of explaining this is 'The Tall Poppy Syndrome'.

Peronsally I have never heard of this expression before and it doesn't really make complete sense to me either so it might be a translation from another language.
