Hi, How would you tackle a situation when another peer who is favored more by management goes ahead, has no qualms and takes credit for all your work when she has made no contributions.

Hi, How would you tackle a situation when another peer who is favored more by management goes ahead, has no qualms and takes credit for all your work when she has made no contributions. This leads to that peer being more promoted and recognized in Organization. I just don’t believe in self promoting and actually do not care at all for all of this, as I am very content and satisfied with where I am and what I do.. but still what will you do?

I am in exact same situation. I am mostly content with what I am doing except for when the favoritism goes far to the extent that, I don't get to speak about the work I am solely handling. What should be done here?

You be happy and content with a smaller role and being paid far less. Money, success and accolades are not primary for everyone. There are other drivers.
YOU DONT DO ANYTHING. Stay happy and enjoy your life built on your choices.

Some people like to fly under the radar. They prefer not to make any bold moves or advance in their careers. They prefer to do a steady, good solid job but not make any waves and not call attention to themselves. They are worker bees. That's fine but don't expect the attention, promotions or praise others receive who are more visible and admired. You can't have one without the other.

Does it mean that worker bees are not be admired or promoted while the queen bee who is busy playing politics, favoritism and taking others work credit with no qualms even when she is not doing any work should be promoted and admired.
