A surprising amount of workplace frustration comes from assuming that good work will be recognized.

It often will not. Keep a running, simple note of:what achievements you made problems solved numbers/results improved positive comments and extra responsibilities you took on Then, when your manager asks what you have been working on, you will not have to remember everything off the top of your head. More importantly, when doing performance reviews, promotions, bonuses, job interviews, or any other reason, you can have hard evidence of the value you provided instead of vague recollections. You are not boasting, you are keeping a log of the value you created.

Do great work, but do not make your career rely on someone else noticing it.
