| Oct 12, 2021 at 20:25 | comment | added | Sam Orozco | I agree with this but I hate that it's this way. I think the need to sell yourself is caused by bad managers that are out of touch with their teams. | |
| Oct 12, 2021 at 12:53 | comment | added | Kaddath | Maybe I'm wrong but it looks to me this is very culture-specific, and typical in the US. This kind of attitude would not have worked in any company I have worked in my country. Where I've been, impossible to "sell yourself" if you don't produce good meaningful work. I've seen people fired for this (attracting attention to them while producing crap). I reckon I've never worked in huge "anonymous" companies, but then it would be company culture still | |
