If you’ve ever had the misfortune of working with a boss who takes all the credit for your work, then you realize that it can be the most frustrating experience at work. Imagine the feeling you get when something is stolen from you. Now imagine the theif selling what they stole for a million dollars. That is what it feels like.
Here is an article about dealing with a boss who take cedit for your work. This article talks about confronting your boss correctly but possibly getting another job if that doesn’t work. I think there is another alternative if your boss continues to steal the show. You can restrict the flow of information in such a way that your boss will have no choice but to refer to you. It is possible to give a satisfactory status update, while stilling withholding vital info. You may hold back info like the originating causes of an issue or perhaps the steps taken to discover a solution. It should be something that your boss will be asked about by their superior. If your boss doesn’t have the answer then they will have to refer to you. Even if your name isn’t thrown in there, at least the upper management will be able to see that there is a crutch behind your boss. This looks different in every situation and may seem a little sneaky, but it isn’t worse that someone who takes all your credit.
