I've been there and you know what's worse about it? When you fix it only you or a handful of people notice the astronomical labor you did.

Yeah. Luckily the work I am doing is to fix some really bad work that the entire company has been complaining about. So once it's fixed it will hopefully be a little bit more recognition than that. Plus my boss is pretty level headed.

But who fucking knows? There is always the likelihood that people will say things along those lines. And it ain't my job to fight them on that.
