perhaps you're working for the wrong boss. Every effective boss I've ever worked for wanted to see two things:

1) revenue 2) results

Those who got distracted by other crap tended not to be as successful by objective metrics. Just my experience though

These kind of bosses are a rare species in any setting.

Most want to build their political cartel, protect it and build it for their own good.

I've even seen bosses who purposefully punish high performers out of fear that they might become a threat to their job.
