I recently realized that pointing out an obvious mistake can cause more trouble than the mistake itself. How did we get to the point where leadership cares more about status and keeping people happy than getting things right?

Years ago I was put on a pip for disagreeing with the racial elite here; nothing will change, j come in and quietly collect your paycheck
The game plan of Clover's management is to never really fix anything but run around looking "busy" putting out the fires that you created. What a joke.
That’s because you have people who have no clue writing procedures for how they “think” something should work
If I see another kiss up post talking about being proud of what’s happening here, I may just have to start asking questions the directly that contradict the rosy portrayal of these photo ops that keep getting posted raving about completely mediocre leaders. We get it, you want to survive the next cuts. But, man, have some dignity.
@OP no good deed goes unpunished and the reward for good work only gets you more work. Don't fall for it. You'll just get a meets expectations anyway so why even bother bringing up problems, going above and beyond, etc etc.
Welcome to “First Data”
In my org everything goes wrong and the Sr leaders doesn’t do anything and dump everything on the low grade leaders/managers specially someone who always gets the done by taking all the stress, there will be absolutely no appreciation and gratitude or growth to him, if he asks I am leading multiple teams and taking high priority and complex work and getting done and my peers doesn’t have as many as I have do I deserve better rating and next level then they will gaslight him telling you are not supposed to talk sbout others ( his peers basically), you are just doing your job but still that poor guy still hopes and takes all heavy lifting and due to capacity if he asks what are is my peer responsibility what can that person takes care of then again “ I don’t want you to go there” its not your business. He cant go to different team as internal move is hard unless you have strong connections and cant quit job, everyday is he-l.
Everything's sunshine and roses at Fiserv, as long as nobody points out the thorns. Spot an obvious mistake and suddenly you're the problem, not the mistake.

Pointing out issues just leads to more work, which leads to more bureaucracy, which leads to more pain.
They only care about the No# here.
Are you new? Not trying to insult but you must be.
You need to shift your thinking here and just not give a fu-k like they do. Don’t try to improve anything. They don’t give a sh-t, why should you?
You will feel a lot better.
