I'm sorry... but if my boss takes all the credit for his work I couldn't give two shits. If he did a good job and deserves to be recognized let the guy talk about what he did. It has nothing to do with the working environment. I have a healthy working environment. My boss is nice to me. My boss lets me put in requests for time off. My boss lets me pick up extra hours. My boss gives me breaks... Will I be upset if he brags about his paperwork being accurate? Will I be mad if he brags about productivity being up since he gained controll? No. Will I be mad if he says "I did this" and points to a aisle I built? Yes.
