There should be an immortal rule between bosses and employees on a team: always try to make each other look good. That, of course, is a two-way street. If your boss is making you take on an exorbitant amount of work and is then taking credit for said work so that her bosses think it's all her, then we've got a problem.

Thankfully, this happens to be a story where HR becomes a hero along with the employee, who logged every minute of work as proof that he was being forced to take on way too much. Eventually, the entire department was restructured, and the employee was able to switch departments and work under a much better manager. Meanwhile, what happened to the incompetent boss? She was placed in a "special projects" role, which lasted no longer than a year.
