In R&D, innovation is a liability to being productive. Do something new, has potential. Other people hear about it. Want to get in on it. Suddenly, you are being asked to train people in your innovative methods... methods you spent a great deal of personal time to develop. Even worse, you are asked to train people who keep failing every method they train on. “Maybe this one will stick! C’mon, be a good team player!” Waste of time, they don’t learn it because they don’t take notes, then blame you to their boss.
Meanwhile, you are so distracted with training untrainable people that someone else takes your method without asking or at least looping you in on it, then applies it to their project, then takes the credit for it.
The culture here punishes innovation. In case nobody else has noticed. When you do something innovative, it increases your workload and devalues your skillset.
