Getting Credit for Programming Accomplishments?

An anonymous reader writes "I am a college student new to corporate culture. For the last few weeks, I have been working on a very large project: revamping our customer service website with tons of new tutorials and information. Recently, I got an e-mail forwarded from my supervisor of improvements that HIS supervisor requested. I am fine with compliments and complaints about my work. However, I realized in the e-mail that my supervisor took credit for the development of this content. I have been under his direct supervision in this whole process; much of the new content was his idea that I ended up implementing. Is it out of line to request that in the future I get mentioned for my work?"

Credit?

Credit sucks. That's why it's the domain of loan sharks and Visa/Mastercard.

You are paid with money, you are motivated by challenges and interesting tasks. No amount of credit will make your job and life meaningful if you can't buy food to eat and you're doing boring shit. Focus on those and forget about the rest.
