When I pull an all-nighter to fix a broken machine, everyone knows my name and thanks me. When I quietly catch a problem before it ever breaks, nobody notices at all. The praise all goes to the dramatic saves, so the prevention work that actually matters most stays invisible.
More people experience this than they realize.
You get praised for dramatic fixes, so the quiet prevention that matters goes unseen.
