Title: So long story short, I was in Bali just before COVID and decided to stick around...for 3 years. After freelancing as a designer&#x2F;developer for nearly a decade I decided to look for a remote job - cuz why the fuck not everyone was hiring remote. I applied and got a job posted for &#x27;hybrid&#x27; work - took 2 months to convince them I would do the work and come back in the summer (traditional finance company not used to remote ).<p>Over the past 3 months, I solo built an entire application from scratch that was presented to the Board 3 times which my boss says they&#x27;re all ecstatic about. He mentioned the head of the project doesn&#x27;t know I exist - thinks my boss made the entire thing. CEO, President, etc. all know about the project and are excited about &#x27;my bosses project&#x27;. Basically the head of the project passed on sketches and screenshots of excel sheets which my boss would give me one sentence of what to build, no design. Usually, I don&#x27;t give a fuck but it&#x27;s different as a freelancer working directly with clients - definitely stings the ego thinking I was part of the company and having put in all the effort. Have I been freelancing so long I just forgot that&#x27;s how office work hierarchy goes? Kinda makes me wanna say  and go back to freelancing.<p>I&#x27;m moving back to NJ to be &#x27;hybrid&#x27; beginning of August...Do I mention to the head of the project the first time I meet him that I built the entire app or just let my boss have his glory and mention I&#x27;m on the team that helped build it?  Don&#x27;t want bad blood with the boss as he&#x27;s a nice guy and gives me freedom, but don&#x27;t mind if I need to find another job as I&#x27;m not stoked on this company and I&#x27;m financially stable.<p>I guess more generally...do more people in remote companies also feel not being acknowledged for their work?
