Displaying a calm, mature attitude, working with a conductor when you know what he is really asking for instead of playing games with him, and playing the very best you can, every time, is how to get the recognition you want. And, unless tuba players do that, they don't deserve recognition because they have not earned it.

In an orchestra, you are the bass voice in the trombone section, and I'd suggest that you should feel fortunate to be there. Life is short, so enjoy that position as much as possible and never miss out on the opportunity to learn something. There are many, many worse situations to be in than where you are right now.
