It’s honestly wild how often the worst behavior gets rewarded at work. I see people who spend their whole day gossiping or throwing teammates under the bus, and somehow they’re the ones getting the promotions. Meanwhile, everyone else who actually works hard and treats people right just gets ignored. I used to think integrity was the most important thing, but I’m starting to get cynical. Is playing fair just a way to kill your own career when the office culture is this a mess?

What you just described is hallmark of a toxic workplace. Should be proof enough that you need to get out of that place, or a time will come that you will either become numb to this or succumb to the need to change yourself to survive it.

I’ve seen this over and over and the conclusion I’ve come to is people who are busy looking busy get more face time and are perceived to be hard workers because everyone sees them rushing around whereas those of us that are actually hard works are hiding at our desks getting no face time. Start spending time speaking to peers at work, it might help.

Career advice?

I'm a relatively junior data engineer (2yoe), the only other engineer (senior) that trained me left about a 6 months ago and I negotiated a nice raise for the extra responsibilities.

My performance reviews have been stellar, but my manager is starting to look to hire a senior to help me deliver projects as we do lack capacity right now.

I feel like I might be missing an opportunity to ask for a promotion and hire a junior instead.

Any opinions/tips?
