A corollary to your first one: if you take on extra work people will forget it is extra work when it’s not delivered on time or has issues. It does not matter how much the first three people fucked it up, you touched it last.
People will only forget, if you let them. I always make sure my contributions are very clearly visible. That of course presupposes that you have meaningful contributions to make visible.
I find people who try to stand out and play up their work insufferable. What I find more insufferable is that this works for getting ahead
