I can only testify that this is not my experience at all, so it might be that you're in the wrong place.
In every company I've joined, I've found issues, often large ones, managed to get assigned to them, and had fun fixing them (or at least the satisfaction of seeing them fixed). Then moved on to the next issue.
I haven't always received much recognition from the powers that be (although me and a few colleagues have once been wined and dined at one of the most expensive restaurants in the city for having saved the company 1M$+ with a few days of work each, that was nice), but I've gained respect from fellow engineers and from myself, which was nice, plus lots of things to tell during job interviews.
So, may I suggest getting out while you can and finding a better place to work?
