Here's how you can address a boss who takes credit for your work or fails to acknowledge your contributions.

Documentation is very important. It leaves a trail and trails don't lie (most times). This is very important especially when your Boss reports to someone else much senior. The trail is able to show how much you have contributed or if you contributed at all. In my line of work, I have seen that document trails speak volumes for people during performance appraisals even when they are not there.

I'd say the best thing is to document your contributions wether you'll eventually need it to prove yourself or not. It can be frustrating but that's the best bet. Now, every workings has an answer or result. Your boss only has the answer but not the workings that add up. If you are only reporting to them and they have a superior boss, it will only be a matter of time before it's figured out. It does not mean you should back down on your impressive work, keep at it. You will get your flowers soon enough.

Speaking up is a straight and assertive way to deal with the problem. Speaking calmly about your efforts in meetings or progress reports makes sure that other people can see your work. Asking for regular feedback sessions with your boss can give you chances to talk about your accomplishments. You can also make a clear record of your contributions by writing down your work and sharing changes with the team. If the problem doesn't go away, it may be necessary to take it to HR or a higher authority. Speaking up shows that you are sure of yourself and can make the workplace more fair and positive.

If your boss takes credit for your work or doesn't acknowledge your efforts, asking your coworkers for advice can help by giving you different points of view and possible solutions. Colleagues may suggest that you write down what you've done, ask other leaders for feedback, or talk to HR about the problem as a group. They may also have had similar situations, which can help and show empathy. Working with others can make your case stronger, show how valuable you are to the team, and help you come up with a better way to make sure your work is recognized and thanked properly.
