People used to ask me why I didn't care when others took credit for fixes that I'd done. As a friend put it, "In other companies, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Here, the squeaky wheel gets pounded".
If some glory hound wanted to claim he was actually the one to fix the problem I'd fixed, and be the squeaky wheel, that was fine by me. Two years later, when there was another, bigger problem similar to the one I'd fixed, they'd be the one on the 4am redeye flight to deal with the angry customer, not me.

"No problem. Here's the updated timeline/response time for those tasks."
"Do more, with less"
Less people...
Lol, the way my workplace is going... less funding and less pay and less work-from-home too.
Good workers get rewarded with more work. C'mon Bob, everyone knows that!
