Who do you think leadership listens to? the employees they never talk to or the line managers they have weekly discussions with? it happened to me recently. working for a manager that literally took all the credit for all of my visible work, taking 0 responsibility when the team was failing on projects while he is the one who assigned juniors on complex projects without any oversight. He obviously blamed his own team members to upper management rather than taking responsibility too. He recently got promoted while I am being asked to attend trainings to get better at my job in order to be promoted (While at the same time being qualified as a top achiever in my yearly review...) Don't forget that no one will ever be on your side in a company. You don't meet leadership. Your line manager does. HR is not on your side never. So yes. The only way out is to kneel down and accept it. be nice to the guy who takes credit and if you do it well enough you might be the next he will promote. except if he brought his friend to the company and this friend is competing with you....
