I do my job well to a high standard and graft for the full shift taking pride in my work and my standards. Others at our place don't go outside to do their actual job but instead sit inside and brown nose the bosses on self promotion at every chance and do little apart from talk the talk.
Effectively I and a few other decent grafters on shift carry the brown nosers who should be outside doing their core role, but instead choose to sit in the warm office, drinking tea and inventing and colouring in spreadsheets.
I'm too old and long in the tooth for all this BS but comply as I have too.
If my boss doesn't know who his best team players are, my boss needs to step up his game IMO and not cop out and ask for a monthly summary of self promoted bull shit.
I'm old and grumpy I know
