How and when to let people know other person who is sharing credit with me has not done anything












0















We are a small company of about 100 people. I along with another senior member (same designation as me but older and more experienced) are jointly incharge of developing a product.
We have a team under us but our manager has made it clear that we can decide amongst ourselves who will do what and he does not intend to get into details as long as the product is delivered.



We are having reasonable success with it but my problem is this other person has not made any meaningful contribution to the project. From idea conception, to documentation, handling the vendors, planning, execution and all the related admin work (vendor cals, purchase orders, etc). is all handled by me alone. This guy comes into a meeting, listens from me on what are our plans and progress are and then say lot of things as if he really is contributing but the bottom line would be:




Yes that sounds good. I agree. Let us do it.




There is no contribution beyond that.



He does have other projects as well and he is probably doing well there. Just no contribution to my product.



Initially I was not worried about the credit but now I am feeling frustrated because




  1. General impression in the company including my boss is that we both are building this. (my team of course knows better).

  2. He does publicly brag that "WE have built this". (This really annoys me)


I am trying my best not to be bothered by this and just focus on the product rather than who gets the credit. I do not need his help anyways. However, I do feel this is wrong.



So my question is how to handle the situation above? Not take any action or let someone know and if so how?
