My SO and I both work in data (in healthcare and higher education, respectively). Neither of us has had this experience. Sure, some of our dashboards have died, but many of them have also provided real value. My SO's have literally saved lives! We each benefit from having direct contact with senior leadership in our orgs, and good understanding of the business side of our industries.

Other than that, I'm not sure what advice I can give to avoid this problem, but I'd like to assert that the worthlessness of data is not a universal experience.
