Not going to bore you with personnal experience ,but I learned the hard way that the more you are going out of your way to help org and coworkers, the more they expect from you and once your are near burned out, everybody is quick to forget how much you've done. From now on I vowed to do the absolute minimum to keep my job.
I can empathize with that. It’s certainly an area I’ve found myself in where you’re taken for granted.
The way I’ve found to adapt to that is to make my impacts known and learn to say “no” or “later”. And of course, as the article says, on-boarding others to unburden me.
If I tell people that I was responsible for something, it sticks and people start telling others when questions about it come up.
If I say no to people or tell them that I’ll help later , they start to value the impact of my absence.
It’s easy to be graciously taken for granted but imho it’s not too hard to control your outward narrative to change that, and in turn reduces burn out.
