Forgive the hastily made meme. All too common with us engineers.

Eh when sales says "we made this" it means the whole company in my mind, not them stealing the credit.
Now we sales says "we'll make this" is when you have a problem.
That was it. This started because there was a slide deck that showed this huge project that I've spent the last year on. This was 100% a software project. On the slide deck saying thanks, all of engineering got a single bullet point, while marketing and sales got oh, the other 90% of the slide. You know, just that pesky task of building the damn thing, that's just over here, in the corner, it's everyone else who really did the work.
All for people getting credit where credit is due, but man did that feel like a slap in the face to me. Sad thing is it happens all the time, this is nothing new, just a regular day of the week
