Harumph.
Last night, I got an all-company email from the president of the company giving a breakdown of the state of the company. It's called the "state of the State" email.
This state-of-the State email praised Lindsey (the new director) for coming in at a 330% increase in Contribution to Overhead in January and February compared to last year at this time. She also extolled Lindsey for getting 5 contracts signed with the school district. People sent out reply-to-all emails extolling Lindsey's work.
The problem is, Lindsey didn't do it.
Lindsey wasn't here until March. The CTO increase had nothing to do with her. The contracts that were signed (a) I had signed before I resigned as director or (b) were signed immediately after my presentation to the district last Friday.
I realize that I sound like sour grapes, and I don’t want to minimize Lindsey’s good start as director, but it angers me that I was so blatantly passed over in order to give credit to someone else. Lindsey did help make a few follow-up phone calls, but 95% of the work was done by me, and I wasn't even mentioned. I don't want to dengrate Lindsey's successes, but I think it only fair that the president of the company give credit where credit is due.
I hope it was an oversight and not deliberate.
Has this ever happened to you? How did you deal with it?
