Put yourself in your boss's shoes, then think - it's very easy to comment on issues like this. But exceptions are always there. Nobody is born to be bad. Can you analyze how responsible he is for your tasks? It's not a contest of bosses; why do people ponder their bosses, like "my boss is good or bad," rather, we have to discuss how we manage our boss.

Hi Deepti,
As long as my current boss is concerned, I don't have much to complain about her! Even my previous boss was great to me; he taught me many things and gave me a chance to grow in this corporate world!
Even when he shouted at me, he made it a point that I take it positively, and I did as well. Sometimes you need pressure to perform better than others, so at that time, a shout can do wonders, speaking from my personal experience.
Regarding the issue you are facing, well, it's your professional life, and he can't take much away from you except for the fact that if you initiated a good thing in the organization and he took the credit! Sometimes we just need to cope with this behavior because at the end of the day, you know it's you who is doing all that it takes to get the attention, so feel good about it.
Just notice that you have what it takes to be a good colleague and an HR professional. Simply ignore the fact that he is taking all the credit. You will have your days; this is just the beginning for you.
Once you are actually fed up with your boss, that is the time to call it quits!
Wish you all the best.

Hi Deepti,
Me too shared a similar crisis... Not now, rather I swam across. I realized... If I want to grow in my career, I better manage 'him'. I have not sought advice from any books; moreover, I felt books are too conditional.
I identified this issue some 8 months ago, and now, as of this month, I am okay to work with him (managed).
I ensured that whatever he asked me to do, I did it in 'lightning speed' (more often, I ensure to excite him with the TAT). This helped me to gain his mindshare despite it being tough to 'stay on' with the sweet revenge! Needless to mention the temptation to quit my job and my effort to prove to him that I know the job better!
Thankfully, this effort of mine bore fruit... I redefined TAT, processes, etc., on the job. When I look back, what has worked for me is the fire/revenge to prove to him that I am too good not to miss, which created greater visibility and acceptance among senior management for me. Instead of cribbing, I channeled my effort to take revenge, which culminated in regaining my share. Now, if I quit, it's proven that more than me, somebody missed! It took 7 months of undaunting effort to fight against the odds (maybe that odd man). Thanks to the recession for making me stay tuned to what I had.
What if, after 7 months of my effort, nothing changes... I'll quit! (that was my plan). Fortunately enough, I fought and changed!
Maybe you can proceed with effort or exit!

Hi Dear,
My boss is the best. He helps me to improve and motivates me. He is a very talented, dynamic, and experienced person, but he is also very selfish and unprofessional. If you are facing this problem, try to be more effective and make him favor you. Be professional.

Hi,
Thank you very much for providing such nice and interesting suggestions. I have read each one. Some were motivating, some were a little sarcastic, some provided practical examples, while some were merely theoretical. Some were really good to implement.
It's great to see that there are so many people around who care for you and are there when you need them.
Thank you for taking the time out of your busy routine to give suggestions, feedback, and comments.
Keep it up, friends! 🌟

I think we don't need to complain. If you need this job, you should try to do something to change the relationship. The boss is always a boss, so you should understand what she is thinking and try to find a balance between the boss and yourselves. Usually, it's not easy to make the boss trust an employee.

Hi Deepti,
At the outset - sorry for the delay. In one of my previous employments with an MNC, it was an accepted term that subordinates work for the increments of their bosses. This means that if the boss is recognized well, whether he likes it or not, he will recognize his juniors at one time or the other - especially when you are doing the required work for which he gets credit.
Hence, please accept the situation and wherever possible, make it known to others in the organization that you are also contributing to the work of your boss. This can be achieved by marking copies of your mail/correspondence addressed to your boss to others where the matter is linked. One word of caution - please do not rub against your boss - for subordinates cannot choose the boss whereas for the boss, it is the other way. Try it out. Good luck.
