Y2k was a victory lap that the general public and politicians laugh at because it wasn’t a problem. It wasn’t a problem because we fixed it before the world ended.
This is something people should well remember about IT for certain and while I don’t have much authority outside of that field, I bet it extrapolates.
In IT, though, the people that get rewarded and noticed the most are often the people that metaphorically set their own fires and then play the superhero in putting them out. All because they tend not to listen to others or take the initiative themselves to prepare. People that are not running around like their hair on fire are seen as “lazy”.

You’ll get noticed as well if you come into a shit show and can properly address it over time.
