You guaranteed that you wouldn't get recognition by keeping the idea to yourself. Your victimization was by your own design, and it stayed where it started: in your head. And ironically you were the one being passive agressive and showing bias towards your coworkers.
Oh honey. I wasn't born with this attitude you know- it was beaten into me.
Nothing is punished so swiftly and severely as outshining your boss or making him look stupid.
