This tweet is for a specific type of person - especially young and hungry ones. I’m talking to the ones who jump in and quietly save things whenever their teammates and seniors drop the ball. Sometimes when not too much is on the line, you have to just let them fail.

I’m saying this as a manager. Like, have an open dialogue with your boss and give constructive and courteous feedback to your peers first, but if you are constantly silently saving the day and nobody sees it, they’re probably gonna get promoted and you’re not.

Excellent perspective! We have a saying that diving catches should be recognized but not valorized. Otherwise every routine pop-fly starts to turn into a diving catch. Cheers.
