This. I have left jobs because "recognition" meant decent raises and praise, and then being assigned to rewrite shitty applications without the opportunity to redesign them. Now, to be fair, I probably had enough clout (and they probably had enough sense) to make noise and get myself reassigned, but at that point I started looking elsewhere, and found something new to try. But I didn't start looking until I perceived my needs being neglected.
