Invisible

Is it better to be invisible and out of sight out of mind ....
or is it better to be known, scrutinized, and critiqued?

I ask this because usually those that advance are those that are visible, vocal and vibrant (had to use an adjective with a "v").

But what about those that do a good--no, great--job? What about the worker in the next cubicle that does not get involved in social settings at work, gossip or other social aspects at work? What about the worker that comes in for eight hours, takes an hour lunch and then goes home? Should he or she be penalized because of not being visible or social?

How do we know that this person does not want to move up or advance? Is it fair to assume this?

No it isn't.

But does it happen.

Yes. It does.
