> My advice to the "don't be so busy" folks... get busy. Do a good job and tactfully take credit for it. Work hard and make sure your name is associated with results.

If you are in a dysfunctional org this will be very hard to do. What you think is a great outcome can be overshadowed because in 500ms some higher up decided it was a shit outcome. And customer/boss is always right is the culture in general.

You need to be busy on the right things. And the right thing might be brushing up the resume. Or it might be pulling an all nighter at the current job and bragging about it the next day. Or managing the manager. Or it might be giving yourself a break, by taking leave. But it is never clear, you just have to decide.
