To think this is outrageous

[Iamnotagoddess]

OH was on a shore draft due to some medical issues including MH.

At one point his career was in jeopardy. He worked really hard on one particular project the two years he was there and secured quite a lot of funding for it.

He left after it was completed and his replacement sort of “opened” the project and that was all he contributed.

OH found out today that this bloke accepted and award and a £250 prize for the project.

I am absolutely livid on OHs behalf and want to write to the people who gave the award and the prize on OHs behalf.

He didn’t want credit for it but for someone to accept undeserved credit for something OH did is absolutely outrageous.

Sorry WIBU to follow this up somehow?

What would it achieve? I’d forget it and move on.

It would achieve DH getting some recognition which he deserves and this guy should give the money back.

I don’t care about the money.

Please leave it.
Your DH will most likely not want to make a big deal out of this, and it could really sour some professional working relationships.in situations like this I would think it was best to sort of have a grumble at home about it, but stony silence in the way of the ex colleagues and or people who are newly taking over. I would avoid them for future similar projects too FWIW.

IMHO chasing to get credit would be worse than being overlooked.

It is a shame they never thought Mrnotagoddess worked so hard on this with us,such a shame he hadn't been included in the celebrations of the work, I'll share the news and an anecdote or two to recognise that he was part of the team.

Maybe make a fuss of the recognition at home with him?
I'd go all out and do a nice dinner, good bottle of wine, little card and heap on him loads of compliments.

Good grief, you'd really finish off his professional standing if you started writing letters on his behalf. He is an adult and you are not his mother. I assume he is no longer with the original company, who are going to push someone forward for an industry award in his absence

What does OH want to do?
