He pays you for whatever services you give.

Your salary is praises to him. If you can't cope, resign and go back hunting for Job in the streets of Lagos. I am sure nobody is begging you to wait (that's if you feel too big to continue)

What you don't know is you are building up yourself (gaining more knowledge) while your boss will soon be in a situation where he wouldn't be able to defend any of those works you and your team worked endlessly for (then you will finally get to be recognized by the executives/directors)

I hate it when people seek for praises. Reading through your words I see more of pride than hurt.

Not every boss/subordinate relationship translates to the boss paying your salary. Some people are recruited as members of a team with someone heading the team. Most times the head of the team is not responsible for any of the other member's recruitment not. Each team members is assigned a role to play and nobody should take credit for anybody's work. It's ethically wrong.

"Never outshine the master"

My department was given an important assignment in my workplace. My direct boss didn't know a jack about the assignment, he asked me to carry out the assignment. I realised the importance of the assignment while going through the template given to us, I put in my best, did a lot of research, spent my personal money on browsing, fueling my car, moving from place to place etc. Some Junior guys in the office also worked assiduously with me. After two weeks, we completed the assignment and wrote a beautiful report to my boss. He read through it and submitted it to our chief executive. After this, praises started rolling in from management to my boss, I heard many of our ogas telling him they're proud of him because of the job well done and the beautiful report. He didn't offer a single word of appreciation to me or the guys that assisted me. Last month, he was sponsored to Germany to present the project on behalf of my office. He even went with his woman friend who is a secretary in our department. He returned by May 1, not a word of appreciation came to me and my guys who did the job. He convened a departmental meeting today which we all attended, not a word of appreciation to anyone, he only admonished us to work harder since our department is now the new bride of the entire office. One of the guys who worked with me told him all we went through to get that job done, asking that at least our expenses be reimbursed to us, he claimed the job didn't yield money and that it's to the glory of out department and our workplace. He promised to present his request for reimbursement to our CEO. I'm greatly displeased with this attitude, I wanted to meet him gently in his office to discuss issues but I'm being careful not to raise my voice against him because of his tendency to talk down on his juniors, I don't really know what to do.

How are you sure your boss don't know anything about the project? He must have chosen his secretary so that she can help him handle simple Secretarial jobs now, did you find out whether your boss actually put finishing touches to the job after you've done your bit? How can he present a work he knew nothing about? From your write up here, it can be seen that you have beef with your boss, that's the way I see it.

vizkiz:

Well, as long as he is boss, he has the power to send you packing once he detects any sign of rebellion.

FYI: Open your eyes to reality. People take credit for other people's success.
