I have been working in an IT company for almost 2 years now. I enjoy the company of my coworkers and I enjoy doing my work. Not only do I finish my work on time and meet the deadlines, I am always looking for new ideas that can contribute to my job.
My problem is that whenever I come up with a great idea, my boss presents it to the superiors and takes all the credit for it rather than acknowledging my contribution. Not only this, I have been regularly putting in extra hours at work, but instead of recognizing my hard work, my boss totally ignores my efforts. I agree that there is nothing wrong with doing extra work and taking initiative, but what are you suppose to do when your immediate boss passes off your hard work as his own, rather than at least acknowledging that he was unable to accomplish that task on his own. Watching my boss constantly taking credit for all my hard work is discouraging and it makes me lose my motivation.
How will I handle this kind of situation. Should I talk to the boss or should I go to his superiors and tell them about everything? Or maybe I should leave this job and look for a new one.
