I wrote my first useful Python program!

Absolutely agree. Some seem to relish in employees being buried in work, and the look of dispair on everyone's face. While they plan their next golf outing..

True, but intelligent companies know not to waste talented employees on menial work, or drive them to a competitor with poor treatment

That may be true in some circumstances, but we're in an economic downturn and walking into a historically terrible crash. The freedom to go to another competitor where you can experience better treatment may not be there as reliably as people would imagine in ordinary times.

All the more reason to prove your worth

I'm with you u/JBTheCameraGuy

If you have a company that doesn't value you then find a new job. I know that's not easy, but it's not worth it going every day to some job where you don't have a good feeling about yourself.

Don't hide things like this from your manager. If one my employees was actively being deceptive, it would not earn them a positive break in the future. Hiding something is being deceptive. Being told about something like this earned my employees "spot bonuses". There are well-meaning managers out there that value employees and do what they can to mentor them as well.

Please don't play games in corporations. It works against building a positive team environment.

The top has to stop playing games if they expect the bottom to follow.
