How do you deal when someone else is credited for your work?


As the title says, how would one deal where their hard work gets praised on the higher levels, but (sometimes) see other people names attached to it?

I personally prefer this but I can understand why it might bother you. When others get credit, they unwittingly also end up supporting whatever I created. My goal is to benefit the greater good of the company. I get paid the same regardless, so if others have to support my creation that means less obligations for me.

I should add that if you suspect it may affect your performance raises, then make sure your work is documented in a way that you current and future managers can clearly see what you contributed. If this is not an option in your workplace, then document this on LinkedIn and your CV.
