ok I am getting tired of helping people out only to see them take personal claim for my hard work. will it really hurt for you to say - "I was able to get it done with some help from ..." it gets really frustrating sitting in a room with these people as they discuss their code achievements.

Welcome to the real world. Now please get back to work as I need to submit your our code for my article. Thank you.

Yup, it doth sucketh. On 'the other side' one of my pleasures is receiving praise and turning to the client to say 'It was not me, I am just delivering the great work our devs do.' When things go well, I pass on the praise. When things go badly, I take the shyte for the team.
Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk. Fall over - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre I cannot live by bread alone. Bacon and ketchup are needed as well. - Trollslayer Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb - they're often *students*, for heaven's sake - Terry Pratchett

When things go badly, I take the shyte for the team.I've had managers who do both of those the other way around. And I have resented each one of the sniveling little shits. I've had more who have done it the right way round though. Guess which I worked harder for.
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

That's the idea. The short term gain of an attaboy from the boss, is worthless compared to the long term benefits of staff who trust you to support them.

I received an e-mail from Mrs Wife earlier. she has to prepare some briefing material for her 'big boss'. As he'll be speaking in English, he asked her to put together a few words for him to say. Said task has been forwarded to me. On an unrelated subject, she is well known as being one of the best English speakers at work.

You might try looking them in the eye, and saying "Wow! That's some awesome code! How ever did you think of that?" If they at least blush, then it may not happen next time. If they don't, then gloves are off - next time steal some code from the interwebs, give it them, and if they don't mention your help, just say "Hey! I think I saw something like that on Code project..."
