You need to first understand why you are getting passive-aggressive responses. Just because you think you are doing "other things that no one cares about", it doesn't mean it aligns with what your Manager/Team/Company needs from you to ensure you are effective at the job you were hired for.

Superstars in a team are easy to spot. They not only get their stuff done but do other things that help the bottomline. Problem is that sometimes you may think you are helping the team by doing other things, but you are probably doing it at the cost of your own work.
