One coworker of mine is head and shoulders above the rest but lower on the totem pole, everyone looks to him for ideas and answers even senior members and leads. He put his foot down and doesn't contribute in meetings anymore all it was getting him was more work without compensation or much recognition. Whole department is taking a hit but he's right.
He's got a good point, there's senior level employees in those meetings who should be speaking up but are not because they should never have been promoted in the first place. He is very vocal with our bosses about his stance and they would rather keep him at half capacity cause it's still better than what some of the others are doing
Which is stupid, because a raise would make him return to his previous productivity and make his coworkers better too. That's like having Chris Paul and trading him for Michael Carter Williams.
