-Alright I've been trying to hold this in for as long as I could, but I finally have to vent. For everybody that has worked for some planning organization, do you give credit where credit is due or have you been not acknowledged by a higher-up when credit is due?
-A big project I did involving a lot of field work, traveling, public relations with municipalities that don't want to give you the time of day (or their info due to fears of regionalism), data entry, and comparison reports, was the recent agenda in a PCC meeting.
-The higher-up that did the presentation only put together a power point presentation of all the info I gave him (with the help from another in the department I was providing help to), and then when the committee asked how all of this info was gathered and processed, he said "oh it was some guy we hired".
-I know how most of this stuff works (in the public sector expecially), you take credit for the work that somebody else did, but blame them when the information is wrong. But come on, saying that it was just some guy we hired, no name what so ever? I had to here this from other employees that were at the meeting, and they thought it was wrong.
-I don't know, I just feel like choking him everytime he smiles at me and then ask me to do another project. What are your thoughts/feelings to this dark-side of the profession? I feel like copyrighting everything now and maybe charging a consultants fee.
