The problem is that Dirty Work requires an order of magnitude more time and dedication to get the deserved recognition.
It's not that you fixed one person's mess, and you'll get a praise in the next perf cycle. You almost always need to show the majority of the team at least 3 times that you saved their asses. Then finally you can demand your work to be recognized. And right, even if everyone recognize your achievement, you still need to ask.
