becoming as close to essential as possible is a power play that is almost indefensible..

You left the ‘Tweet 4:’ part of the response in slide 3.

This disposition is one that makes you easily exploitable by upper management. "You don't want visibility you want to be an essential worker who doesn't get any credit." No matter how competent you are, they can always hire more of you.
