I think it's odd that your company has a fairly decent promotion metric (those who seek to spread knowledge through docs & meetings get promoted) and you seem to want nothing to do with it while also complaining that your coworkers don't respect your opinion.

I kind of get it as you have expressed that promotion is not your goal. However, organizational influence comes through promotion as your org & only those with influence at your org can change that.

What do you think would be a better system, that decoupled promotions from influence & enabled you to provide your experienced opinion without getting into management?

I actually know you're right, and am just being indulgent right now.

I just hate it because I find meetings draining.
