Fantastic write up. I know this feeling all too well.
A bit related is when you work in big companies like Apple and Tesla. These guys have a "hero" at the top. There is nothing you can do but wait for that headline that talks about a feature you made and it was Elon Musk's doing or Job's amazing leadership. I have nothing against these two but it is very demotivating to work.
- chippy 11y agoYou should usually get the praise internally from the boss and all your peers know it's down to you. But externally, and the public, you get nothing, and the boss gets all the praise.
- the_common_man 11y agoYes and that's soul crushing (to me). Especially if the boss makes no mention of you even in passing. The problem with BigCos is you can do nothing about this, other than climbing the ladder. I feel small companies have a nice mix, I know the developers of many startups by name and what they do because of the very fact that they can come out and talk about their work.
