> I also believe that you will be well-rewarded for doing everyone else’s job in the many cases where the organization is in a shape bad enough to need this (which is most of them) but is still healthy enough to eventually appreciate it (and if it can’t, it’s on its last breath.)
Tread carefully. At fairly large companies, you'll find plenty of people who'll take your reward. I also know people like those described in the article who get hit by layoffs - people didn't realize how significant the unofficial work they did was.
Whenever I get a new job, I always research and test the waters. If it's clear I won't get rewarded, I don't do it (and start searching for another job).
