Working really hard this morning to prove my worth to my employer and I have to keep fighting the voice in my head that's asking why I am even doing this.

Long story short, I've spent 3 months managing a huge marketing/sales project in Florida. Nobody knows this portfolio like I do. They just hired a project manager that I'm supposed to hand everything over to and he gets to take all the credit. I've been trying to play nice but, on our weekly update call, he literally could not even provide a single update and asked me to recite them. He's had all of my trackers/updates and I guess he was too good to read any of my files? Or even ask me to explain? But he gets the credit.

I’ve been in this position before. Did they hire the new guy on because they want to put you on something else? The only thing that’s ever helped me is having a frank convo with my lead to try to convince them to assign the new person to something else. Good luck, I don’t envy your position atm

Thank you. I had the call last night with my boss telling her that I'm okay with handing this off but the new guy better not destroy everything I've built up... she seemed to understand but only time will tell.
