In the corporate world, typically, advancement is about putting yourself out there, bragging about your work, exaggerating your achievements, taking credit for others' work if you can get away with it, and just generally being a duplicitous shit while giving the facade of the opposite.

Good for you that you didn't play the game.

I didn't either, then quit, took a couple of months to recover from the burnout, and joined a smaller, newer business run by honest people where my contributions were valued and I wasn't surrounded by ruthless, unscrupulous cunts. Fuck the corporate environment, and one well-known tech giant in particular.

Sounds gtm, I’m also heading somewhere smaller and hopefully healthier.
