Thad — that skip-level recognition story is exactly the point. One moment, one person willing to say your name out loud, and the trajectory shifts. Peter did that for 20 people in a single LinkedIn comment. You felt it as a new grad years later. That's not coincidence — that's what the invisible army actually runs on. Grateful you shared this.
It's sad how little attribution is actually prioritized across industries. Shouting people out keeps morale high! I still think about being a new-grad being recognized by my skip-level years later. Did wonders to the early parts of my career.
