So you suggest we gain fulfilment by proving our worth as sycophants and 
simply prove our grovelling skills?

I doubt the complaints of lack of value recognition from the general tech 
comm profession is about wanting to be valued for anything at all costs. I 
would optimistically hope that the desire is to be valued as a technical 
communicator, regarded as a professional, and recognized for knowledge and 
talent.

In that light, "Find what your organisation values, dump your principles 
and pride, and begin bootlicking" is hardly a constructive comment.
