I have been in this industry a long time and I know exactly how you
feel, been through it many times myself. The best advice I would give
you is don't do anything rash. Complaining can backfire on you. These
things tend to work themselves out over time. Someone who claims
someone else's work will get knocked down eventually. They will get
asked questions they cannot answer and will have to admit it wasn't
their idea. They can only use smoke and mirrors for so long.
Believe me, your knowledge and ability to fix problems (and other
peoples problems) is known by your manager. He may never say it but he
knows the bottom line is YOU are the one fixing the issues. That does
work to your advantage.
If your current job is not worth the wait you could always get another
job. I work for a large company and someone who has been here for over
30 years told me once "if you don't like you manager just wait it out,
you will eventually get a new one". The food chain above me has changed
a few times in the 8 years I've been here. :)

Subject: OT: Problem at work
GS,
I have this problem at work, hopefully someone can give me some advice
or guidance before i make an decision.
Im a network engineer for a local ISP operation team, my manager oversee
two groups, one for internal IT desktop support and the other one is
for ISP operation which i am in.
Problem 1, the supervisor from IT team constantly step over and trying
to do our jobs. there's nothing I can do, since he and my manager are
really close. I got really upset one time when he(IT guy) was
represented me for a mpls project i am doing to our exec management
meeting. When I questioned his involvement, my manager told me he just
helping us out. This is clear to me, my role is just do the technical
part and they will claims the credit.
Problem 2, I spent hours sometime day to fix up some of the mistakes my
senior engineer did. some of those mistake as silly as duplex mismatch.
This is a problem and my manager refused to address it, because they
are drinking buddy. :( What's worse is not only i have to take care of
my own projects, my manager is able to make me finish the senior guy's
projects as well.
I dont think i have much options left beside move on and find another
job, or comply with whatever thats going on and suck it up.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
