That is a problem for management to deal with.

I've had this thrown at me on multiple occasions, at gigs where I've solved and addressed long-standing problems, hugely improved efficiencies, and taken systems from states of perpetual chaos to vastly smoother functioning conditions.

And the simple truth is, I will lose my effectiveness and sanity if I'm required to put in "face time" simply to maintain order elsewhere.

Ultimately I view complaints on that basis as an exceptionally strong indicator of management incompetence. Time to look elsewhere.

I'm being paid for my outputs, not inputs.
