Solomon:

When someone else gets the recognition for work you carried, the tension is between protecting the relationship and protecting your credibility.

Visibility at work should come from clear ownership, contribution, and results—not from fighting over credit after the fact. The strongest move is usually to make your role more visible in the work itself before recognition gets assigned.

Joseph’s value became undeniable because his contribution, judgment, and results were consistently visible to the people making decisions. Genesis 41.

Start creating a clearer trail of ownership: send concise updates, present your work when appropriate, and name your contribution without accusation. If the pattern continues, address it privately: “I want to make sure my role in this work is clear when we discuss it with leadership. How can we handle that better going forward?”
