I did this for a long time, but it doesn’t scale. At some point those other people actually need to do their jobs. I tried solving this by building tools and systems to make their jobs easier. This worked for some people, but others just need to be allowed to fail. No amount of help will be enough and bad situations end up being prolonged.
It is also very frustrating to watch people get promoted after taking or assuming credit for all the work you quietly do behind the scenes.
