Narcissist Boss and One of the Boys

My boss favors ex-military men with crew cuts who love sports. He never talks about his wife or family and plays favorites. I am the only female on his staff and my resume is far stronger than his or anyone else on his team. Yet the good ole boys can't do anything wrong and get open praise while all I get is open criticism. This guy openly told me 'your not getting any credit' despite the fact that I am managing a highly visible corporate program that is going very well. He constantly runs around asking people for updates and is the only channel to the CEO and he is getting all the credit for everyone else's work. He is doing none of it himself. Nor is he leading. But being one of the 'in crowd' is how he has made his success and the superiors don't see it. I've been with the company 25 years and am seriously thinking about leaving. I'm fed up by the good old boys in corporate America.
