A manager in Austin told me to stop fixing problems and it still bugs me 6 months later
I was grabbing coffee at a conference in Austin when a manager from a bigger company sat down next to me and asked how my week was going. I mentioned I stay late to fix things nobody else catches, thinking she would say good job. She set her cup down and told me the person who cleans up every mess just gets handed more messes. Now I can't decide if she was right or if she was just protecting her own team's habits. Is staying the go-to fixer a smart move or does it quietly cap you? Curious what worked for people who pulled back.

She said it once at a conference and it's bugging you six months later?
