The only thing worse than an equivalent or lower grade co-worker stealing your thunder is having a boss who steals your thunder.

yup, i am licensed.

OK, you know you need to tread carefully then.

Use the email trail to make sure everyone involved knows the calculations are coming from you. Your boss knowing it is the most important, as the dick can't then claim your results as his, only misrepresent them in front of others. Even then, the email trail can nip this in the bud. You don't even need to tell the dick what you're doing...just start doing it. Whenever he asks for something, just reply "I email you this information." If he presses you, just tell him, "I prefer email, as it's easier for me to keep track of what I've told people. I hate to make mistakes." If he still presses you, just ask him "Why are you pressing me on this?" That should get him to back off as he'll really have no valid reason.

Good luck and I hope you get this resolved to your satisfaction. :)

This guy is essentially stealing food from your family. You are paid for what you produce. Your future promotions and raises are largely based on what you produce. If this guy is taking credit for what you produced it is akin to reducing your future promotion, raises, and standard of living.

Absolutely do NOT put up with this kind of behavior AT ALL.

Cliff, can you put all the sheets in .pdf? Your sig on the sheets can't be modified, can it? Neither can the data, or anyone else's name added. Am I correct here?

That would be a subtle way to claim the work as yours.

BTW, and I mean this in the most kindhearted and helpful way, I would try to improve grammar before communicating in emails beyond the actual data. Most people see a grammatical error and assume you're not the brightest bulb on the tree. That's the problem with generalizations, something I'm acutely guilty of.
