Essentially not trying to stick out and shine, it becomes obvious you only do your job for recognition. Like those fags in school who would ask obvious questions just to let everyone know they understand the concept. Just be reliable and efficient, don't kiss ass. But don't let them forget about you, constantly talk with your bosses about why you deserve a promotion, beyond that I don't bother them.
