Is the one who goes ahead everytime in meeting and explains what the team is doing and progress to boss, gets more recognition despite he actually contributes to the task? Is that how it works or the silent workers who actually contributes to the tasks gets the recognition too.. should I keep silent?

@retoor
Being the opposite of that, I totally agree. Mentioned many times my manager that I wouldn’t farm all the influence bullshit, spam Slack for nothing, shout about achievements, provide solutions for problems that don’t exist or anything of that kind. I instead focus on blazing fast delivery, developer experience and extreme pragmatism. This provided me nothing, but because it’s me, I obviously complained about not getting a pay raise.

@retoor
I won’t do the farming but I am among the people who dare to rant about not getting paid enough. And I can always switch job anyway. I am not coerceable.

I'm the guy who does his job very well, behind the scenes.

My direct supervisor is pretty much the only one that sees what I do.

I'm !into being the center of attention.

Even w/ the very positive feedback I received from the supervisor, which was presented to the boss, my pay is shitty.

@retoor Right... correction: !shitty, but still underpaid.

Doing what I like is helping, though.

@retoor Having fun at work is kind of a must.

So yeah, I do prefer having a bit less money but have fun at work, than the other way around.
