| May 3, 2018 at 9:19 | comment | added | Dom | You're in a fairly common predicament that can only be resolved successfully if the Ireland boss is intelligent and rational. I often conclude that it's better to say nothing and get out of the way to let the house of cards collapse. There aren't many realistic scenarios where you come out better off in the long term. Almost an all or nothing decision - All: they believe you and become wary of credit-taker / Nothing: they don't believe you and become wary of you | |
| May 3, 2018 at 9:05 | comment | added | TomTom | Actually no. It is not really important thta coworkers know. It is important management knows, so the person who did it gets the credit (and bonus when bonus time comes). Also some of us have honor - and getting credit where credit is due is one's right. I rather stay at home than work for a company like that. Ok, disclaimer - I can stay at home not care about money. But then that ALSO comes from walking away from crap places where you do not get credit for the work you do and insisting on being properly recognized for my contributions. | |

| May 2, 2018 at 23:20 | comment | added | teego1967 | The really important thing is that your co-workers know what you did and the level of contribution you made. A lead taking undeserved credit for the work of others is going to have a very harsh comeuppance eventually, and when it happens you don't want him to point any fingers towards you-- which someone like that is apt to do for retaliation. | |

| May 2, 2018 at 11:20 | comment | added | John Marcus | Yes, we do have a software development lead. The "tech-lead" is just a developer. I have been recognized by my team internally many times and they are thankful for all the changes. But I don't really seek to be praised, rather to just not have the credit taken by someone personally. | |
| May 2, 2018 at 10:50 | comment | added | Raf M. | @JohnMarcus Do you have a project manager? Does the tech lead is your direct manager? Does the company use some sort of agile system (or any other project managing methodology)? Have you been recognised by your team internally? Your manager's job is to manage. It seems like he did it pretty well - the job is done, so he deserves the recognition. The fact that he based it on one person who was keen to do all the job is a whole different story. | |
