There is a lot to be said about brown nosing

Just about everybody has bared witness to brown nosing at work. I will set the stage going back just over a year ago when a few successful trial and error trades technicians started to sway problem solved credit to themselves, leaving out the real solution trades technician in the process. The two in question,  by hanging together easily overshadow the real talented technician with undertones of tag team brown nosing of the big boss. The two techs who now appear to have come up with, and implemented the solutions to solve the problems, sneak office visits with the big boss for further getting a credit stamps.
  I had a hand in training one of the two I speak of, but I am not sure when his persona started to incorporate justified and UN-justified glory grabbing. To add to the fury, myself and another coordinator both new who really was responsible for most of the solutions to the complex problems that happened, unfortunately this technician doesn't feel the need to call anyone out. The two in the lime light now incorporated a new addition to glory grabbing, tattling on other techs for some of the same infractions they are guilty of, plus possibly purposely setting up techs on false infractions. 
 This behavior went on for a long time. I did on occasion make the big boss who was my direct report, in on the reality of the situation at hand along with the other coordinator. I later found that the two were making a play to work the boss to see me in a negative light. The boss who used to see through things and situations to be fair and impartial, was now backing favorites.
 I was not as aware of this as I thought until the tables were turned on me for an infraction I had against me. The infraction fueled by my disease ridden procrastinating personality caused me to be in the middle of a major discipline situation. My boss did little or nothing to help me through this situation. His boss whom I had had major confrontations with, had now found a way to drive me out by way of forced resignation to save retirement benefits later on, and avoid prosecution from the organization. It goes on from there that they still have far outreaching ability to prevent me from finding employment. FIVE MONTHS LATER. Watch out if you think fair and impartial is the play at work.
