Calm employee discovers his quiet competence made his good work invisible: ‘People who get noticed are the ones who create urgency, send 14 Slack messages, act stressed, then get praised for solving the same issue they made everyone aware of’ – FAIL Blog

I don’t know how delusional this is, but I would simply try to start communicating what I do, not in a petty way, not like recriminating anything, just saying it out loud. It’s a more straightforward way to make everybody notice what you do. When you are about to take care of something, you should be like, ‘I’m going to step in and do xyz’, so everybody knows what you’re doing. I know it sounds silly, but people work like that; they don’t see what isn’t directly shown to them, and I think that strategy is way more direct than trying to be manipulative with your absence.
