That kind of behavior is far less successful than many would expect. Higher ups are pretty aware of who does what, at least at 1 year+ time frames.

That being said, I’ve seen many outrun their own incompetence. Getting incentives right in large organizations is difficult.

Being aware is totally irrelevant. Their incentives are not about rewarding the right person. Their incentives always are to protect themselves at all costs.

You are screwed if a higher up perceives you as threat. real or imaginary. you won't even know about your status till you get laidoff.
