When this happened to me I decided to just tell my manager the truth. He honestly didn't even realize I was having issues and he reacted to it by firing me. Mentally, I was in a place where I was kind of happy that my suffering can fin

There are egregious cases in history (e.g., Rosalind Franklin) but nowadays most of modern research is conducted as a group so it's logistically hard to award it to anyone other than the principal investigators of the lab. It's a
