Yeah, but sometimes it gets you fired. Different company, different situation. Careful with this kind of advice.

People like to think that the world is this magical place where in the end you get what you deserve when you collect enough good karma and do the right thing, but it isn't really the case.

I don't think there's any kind of contradiction. Getting fired is the natural result of not getting any credit.

If you do get fired for that you don’t really want to work there anyway

Maybe but most people also don't want to not be working involuntarily with no notice.

I would not either and never happened to me to date, but if it did, I wouldn’t sweat it and would not put undue pressure on myself.
