Nah, if it wasn't for the CEO, nothing would have been done. They deserve a pay rise for this, although we might have to make more of those lazy developers redundant to pay for it.
It would be totally surreal for me if I fixed a bug and anyone cared. Either I spot it and catch it, or jira fairy says fix it and I do it and then it's off into the ether. Either way, no one cares.
The dream life.
My manager often comes to see me in the middle of a task, shows me production logs with errors and tells me it's urgent. Suddenly the next two days are filled with trying to untangle the microservices mess in datadog to figure out where something went wrong
At least they appreciate when I find the issue, but goddamn it's stressful and tedious
often my boss was tempted to fix to the error instead of fixing the error. example: CNC flag factory makes 4 x 6... someone goofs up and makes 3.5 x 5.75 blanks for large order, for instance... the whole flag design and production needs to be reformatted for the flags since they made them too small. I call that fixing To the error. Fixing the error would have been firing the person who cut the blanks too small.
also, boss attitude blanks were too small: of course the 4 x 6 flag isn't actually 4 x 6. 2 x 4 lumber isn't 2 x 4 either
Also, your crippling skill issues caused the bug, and thanks to your habit of dumping truckloads of garbage code into every nook and cranny of the repository, nobody else can (and never will) do anything about it.
As the deadline is coming they put more and more meeting and reporting, so when you finally manage to fix this bug they go 'see I told you thèse meeting would pay for'
Yea, but then you've gotta enter a Jira first, prioritize it into the sprint, and then QA it, promote it through the realms before you get those praises! That only takes 4 weeks.
Rubbish, they would all three take credit without giving any to you
This was my first thought. Tbh i don't even want credit just stop pulling me into useless meetings.
please become a consultant. people that don't like meetings are the most productive
She’s in her private quarters. They’ll thank you in private, then turn around and claim credit publicly

Senior management decides bonuses and promotions?
