I've been bumping into this kind of thing a lot lately. Flipping embarrassing. But it's hard to know which pieces of suffering you should think about when there are so many little papercuts you've learned to not notice.

This is one reason why moving jobs somewhat frequently can be very beneficial. You and your employer have different sets of papercut blindness and you can both help each other.

I've often had this same thought about starting a new job. I'm going to have to use "Papercut blindness", the mixed metaphor makes me smile.
