Giving and taking credit in big tech companies

Engineers who assume their manager will notice and reward good work are operating on a leftover 'school fantasy' that doesn't apply at big tech companies. Managers can't reliably assess technical work themselves, so they rely on informal networks of trusted engineers to judge quality behind the scenes. This means engineers need to actively take credit for their work through internal posts and visibility, but hoarding credit backfires: sharing it with collaborators builds allies who talk up your work and shields you from being scapegoated when things go wrong, since blame follows the same informal, politically-influenced process as credit.
