Yea, in the big companies, you would not believe how often I have seen someone 'recognised' and given great praise for being in the office real late pulling a release out of the fire - almost everytime it was that very person that put it into the fire to begin with - The ones that just got the thing to work and went home didn't even feature on the radar!

Sometimes I think the way to progress in a big company is to make a hash of things and then stay late fixing them - that doesn't compute with me though - they are bound to get found out at some point, right?
