Agreed. When people come to me and say “I’m not being recognized as X,Y, or Z”. My response is always “Are you performing in a way that someone would recognize you as X,Y, or Z”. Praise is not a given, it is an acknowledgement based on merit. Otherwise it would be like an athlete saying “How come I do’t have any points on the board, I’m on the field aren’t I?” If you scored, you’d have points.
That said, some people see praise (giving or receiving) as a sign of weakness, or frivolousness. Run, you’ll never have fun working for them.
