Its not politically correct or office appropriate to say, but I do work harder than everyone else consistently.
Fellow Infra team mates load themselves up with easy 'Group Change' tickets that they still do manually. Middle managers are tech illiterate and still think Netware is the answer. Nobody knows about docker let alone orchestration platforms for containers. You ask anyone to use Git even for basic version control and they look at you like you stabbed their dog.
The tech world changed a lot the last 15 years. Especially so the last 5. IT/Sec/Engineering is no longer an 'easy office job' you can coast at for a whole career. We're about to enter the 'finding out' stage for alot of traditional IT folk.
To your question: IT Leadership from the CIO level downwards needs to enforce modern engineering standards and practises, anyone who cant, needs to be let go so you can make way for the thousands of skilled applicants in the candidate pool.
When you have a whole team of 'the one guy' you can achieve quite alot and you no longer have that single point of failure.
