I would suggest letting go of your ego here and focusing on what you want out of the situation, and which action will help you get that. If all you want is "credit", let it go entirely. Ultimately the company is paying to own your work, so no one will really care if you get "credit" or not. Do you want a promotion? Pay bump? In that case you have to look at how happy your manager is with you. At the end of the day your manager has a major say in these two things, and if they're looking good because of your hard work, that's good for you. The issue is if the manager takes credit and then turns around and tells you that your performance is not doing great. This does happen and the only, slim, chance you have of rectifying it is reaching out to a skip level. But again this also means you have to "want" to stay at the company and grow there. I can't tell just from your comment so this could fall into either category of "that's just office politics" or "that's really a toxic org". It is quite possible that you actually don't want to deal with either of these and will likely be happier as a freelancer. To answer your other question: I've been remote for many years, before the pandemic, and have not had trouble getting credit for my work when it matters. Generally good managers do like to show off the success of their team members because that also can make them look good.
