Little Victories
I recently received a £2 voucher from a supermarket after complaining vociferously about the poor quality of their own-brand Rich Tea biscuits, which I spent on more tasty, tasty biscuits. Tell us about your trivial victories that have made life a tiny bit better.

Hah.
Yes, that all sounds really neat and tidy, and probably actually happens from time to time. Meanwhile, in the real world people backstab, skive, climb all over each other and will laugh in the face of anyone who whines about it.
Your problem is you have a completely inverted view of how smart people are. You think your manager is dumb, and you think his bosses are even dumber. You are genuinely bewildered by this, and you think it's a good idea to go and get it sorted out. How can those bosses not realise what a wanker the manager is? They must be really fucking stupid.
Of course it works the other way. The manager might be a wanker, but he gets it done. They don't give a shit that he has managed to get you to do his work for him. That's why he's a manager and you're not. You'd just waste time diligently crediting everybody who did the work. They don't care, it's the managers job to worry about that.
You haven't got a clue.

(a) I've already commented that I am a manager.
(b) Clearly they did give a shit about who did his work - they fired him for not doing it.
(c) Somebody's a bit fucking bitter there...

Dunno where you
got bitter from. I'm sitting on my balcony, eating a croissant.
Keep it up, next year they'll make you a vice president.
