Disaster

Now, here is the take. What to do when you find yourself carrying your group and yet told not to lead them. Your leader though depends on you, using you. He doesn't give you much credit though for what you do. He appears in charge ad presents to the outside as figure head. People start recognizing your capabilities and achievements, though you earn little respect since you can't make thedecision if asked but need to ask your boss. Finally, others around you in other groups get recognized for their work butyou keep plugging away. When you ask, you are told to be patient that your time will come. Now people that came after you get promoted and you end up with more work because your team is bleading out. You have the choice to leave you are told, just wait a bit more.
Your job is sought after in the market. Recruiters keep calling you, but you like your company just not the work structure of your group. Your boss is a nice guy, just a bit behind in modern management of valueing your employees. You even tri3ed sitting down with him assuring him that you want to get through this together and that you'd like the chance to prove yourself even more than you have shown before. Your last review showed you were working above expectations.
Does that sound familiar? Tell me what you think! I curious how you would handle the situation.
