In my experience with corporate structures, what is typically lost in communication is recognition. That's not to say you aren't receiving credit for work, but rather that no one is patting you on the back for it. The realization that other people know you exist usually only occurs when there's a problem and someone circumvents the hierarchy to get a faster resolution.
Taking credit for other's work though... that usually ends badly for the individual who is taking credit.
Maybe I've been fortunate in my career but the pattern I've observed is that good bosses always attribute successes to their team (e.g., we were able to do it) and failures to themselves (e.g., I missed that).

Of course it's understood that there were ICs involved, and yes often the director-levels and up don't know who they are, and that is not that unusual. We're not talking about open source software here, you are recognized for your work with dollars.
