Credit Stalkers

You know what I am talking about... it seems like every job you get, either as a contractor or employee there is a Credit Stalker near.  The people who take credit for your hard work and IP.  You work your butt off coming up with cool ideas and innovative things and someone takes credit for it all.  The worst part is they not only get credit but in some cases they get filthy rich off your ideas.  I feel like the common corporate America company is becoming polluted.  All the little guys are the ones that come up with the excellent ideas and get nothing in return except get let go because there job is "cheaper" over seas.

I see companies like Panic and id Software that for the most part are run by small teams and that impresses me.  They keep coming up with innovative software and ideas and not with 1 Billion dollar wallets.  I hope to keep seeing companies like this stick around and keep kicking out cool technology.  I am not saying all corporations are like this, but most are...

I am fortunate that the company I am with now is also a small company.  Innovation does not slip through the cracks with layers and layers of processes and management.  I think companies sometime in the process of trying to make things more organized, create more chaos.  That is just my .02 and opinion though...

I was reading some posts and articles about credit being taken from individuals and it just ticked me off a bit, sorry for venting ;)
