I decided I do have a bit of a "hmpf" to offer on this:
My company did a "Friday pat on the back" day for jobs well done amongst the company. A certificate of some kind was given out to selected members of each area. I noticed my boss holding one, and wondered... which one of us? It went to the newly hired copywriter, which I'm sure does a great job at what he does here. I know his services were greatly needed, but a month or so ago, I distinctly remember revising his copy ideas for headlines on ads. He liked mine better than the ones he'd come up with, and even told me that his creativity had run out one day, so I came up with something then. I wasn't upset that he got a certificate for his work and I didn't for my work, I just thought "huh, well that's funny, whatevs."
At least you're not bitter.
