Reminds me of moments I had early in my career where I was the hero for fixing problems I caused. :) That company didn't have code reviews and my bosses weren't very technical, so it was pretty easy to pretend like I wasn't at fault for anything. Sometimes they'd figure out that I caused the problems and even then it didn't seem to really matter. If I had the skills I have now 7 years later, my bosses would probably think they're overpaying me because it wouldn't seem to them like I'm doing anything more of the time.
- toast0 5y agoIf you don't get enough praise for not breaking things, get a days since a workplace accident sign, and update it every day. Set it to zero when you break something. Edit to add: you should be able to get some praise (or at least self-praise) at milestones like 30/60/90/180/365 days without an incident.
