My experience is the same. As a young engineer I got things to work on time and with minimal issues. My reward for being good at my job is to be loaded up with work from my boss and by my peers and even by those who were outside of my team. When I refused because I said I have my priorities. I was called out for not being a team player. I once even had a come to Jesus meeting by someone who was not my boss for refusing to work on his emergency ticket. This tech lead who was on another team was later forced to apologize to me. Essentially there are two classes of people. Those who want to master their craft and develop their skills. And those who think their job is boss around others and that other people exist to make their life easier. I have noticed this sense of entitlement is especially common among younger engineers who think I owe it to them to mentor them. Hmm. I don’t owe you anything.
