One of the sadder and more frustrating experiences working in larger organizations is seeing people who step in to fix problems being rewarded more than people who prevent problems from ever happening. If you’re a problem-preventer you have a second job to do which is making sure people know your value. (Unless you don’t care about recognition, raises or promotions)

*nod* Unfortunately no matter how much you advocate for your value it's often an uphill battle to get people to care about (or even notice!) long-term invisible maintenance labor. It's not seen as glamorous, at least not like innovation and problem solving.

That’s something that really annoys me. If you’re good at what you do but quiet about it, non one takes notice. You shouldn’t have to point it out to people.

The worst thing is that people who hide / ignore problems get more rewarded than the 2 categories above :-(

Deep observation, Adrienne! Yes yes. ✊🏻🙇🏻♀️ The calm counter-factual doesn't elicit the same sort of "hero" drama and reward...but it should!
