My boss took credit for my team and I’s work by putting his name in the final announcement. He says it is company policy but I feel cheated, how can he morally put his name to receive credit for something he did zero work on? I don’t know if I should continue staying in a company where more and more of my work would be claimed by him as his success.

Dear User, I can understand how frustrating it must feel to have your boss take credit for your team's hard work. It is natural to feel cheated and undervalued when someone else takes credit for something you worked hard on. Your feelings of disappointment and anger are valid. It is important to recognize and validate your emotions. From a Buddhist perspective, it is important to practice mindfulness and detachment. The situation has already happened, and we cannot change the past. It is essential to accept the present moment and let go of the anger and resentment towards your boss. Holding onto negative emotions can harm your mental health and well-being. Practice compassion towards yourself, your boss, and the situation. From a psychological perspective, it is essential to communicate your concerns to your boss. Schedule a meeting with your boss and express how you feel. Be clear and assertive in your communication. Your boss may not be aware of how his actions have impacted you. If you feel uncomfortable talking to your boss, you can also speak to HR. It is also essential to evaluate your options and decide if the company culture aligns with your values. Coaching advice: It is important to focus on your values and what is important to you. If the company culture does not align with your values, it may be time to consider other job opportunities. Remember to practice self-compassion and let go of negative emotions. Communicate your concerns with clarity and assertiveness.
