Self introspection on working style

I can clearly sense I'm totally off track when it comes to my working style but maybe I'm looking for validation out here. I work on a skill in demand from offshore, have worked for a long term project onsite before, I do my work with 100% honesty, conduct proper KTs and in the end I'm nowhere - 12 LPA with 10+ YOE with no great prospects in future. I'm sure if you're following this route of honesty, all you get is your replacement. I have no idea how to proceed further in my career as I have been like this since always- it remains the same everywhere, if you can't be good at playing mind games and establishing your dependency, all you end up with is more work, average raise and your replacement. Some days I feel like quitting altogether but I don't have any plan B and it's like I'm good technically but I can't survive and do all this office politics. I'm a loser, isn't it?

Struggling with Credit Thief Daily😒

I have an onshore counterpart, one level above me. We two are setting up the project and conducting workshops. The problems I have are: 1. I work in the B shift from 2 PM to 11 PM since the client is in PST. But i login usually at 10-11 2. My onshore counterpart works in EST but logs in very late. 3. Although I work in the B shift, I often extend until 1 AM because I am preparing all the PPTs and doing research. I have to explain everything I do daily for 2-3 hours. She schedules meetings during the PST afternoon to present that work. 4. It has been 2 months of the same routine. In every weekly stand-up, she gets appreciation as if she did the work and research, without giving me any credit. 5. I can escalate the issue, but no one will listen because she has been here for 12 years, whereas I joined a year ago. She has strong networking with the leadership, which I lack. 6. I can ask for release, but I like this project and have provided solutions for some challenging gaps. I feel very bad because I work for 16-18 hours per day. She could schedule the meeting in the PST morning, but she purposely schedules it in the PST afternoon and gets the credit for my work. PS: i saw her creating a transcript to read during the meeting Do people like this really exist? If you have personal commitments, why come to work? Don’t you have a conscience and feel guilty about stealing credit for others’ work? Nowadays, there are many posts related to stopping gender-based reservations. Is it because of situations like this?
