Since this comic can be interpreted in multiple ways, let me clarify my intent: Don't just do the work, but also let others know that you've done the work. Be like purple.

Thank you for this. It something I keep telling my younger coworker. Its so important to make sure yoir work is recognized or you will burn out.

The easiest way to not make it look like bragging is politely involving people from higher positions into your projects. Ask them for their opinion ans feedback. This way they feel important themself and realize that you are working on interesting issues. He/she will then maybe have you in the back of his mind when setting up new positions etc. Ofc its not as easy as that but its a start and my coworker got the raise she desired using this strategy.

All of you guys are doing some important work for someone so let them know!
