I think it's worth differentiating between value (i.e. having value) and valued (i.e. the people who control your future at a company seeing value in your work, whether or not it reflects reality).

Isn't that what the original author is doing by using "useful" to mean "adds value" vs "valued" which means what you're saying it means in this context?
