A very good of example of this occurs in my department.

A while back Managers of the department were favouring Oracle over FoxPro and felt that Oracle was superior, therefore, all Oracle projects were made very public, and people who worked on them were always commended on their hard work. In my team however, a FoxPro project, we are shoved to one side and basically told to "get on with it" and they would leave us to it.

Nobody knows what we are actually doing, and we haven't had one mention or thanks!
