I'm dealing with two directors who are making this place absolutely miserable. One of them keeps trying to claim my work as his own, like I won't notice or something, and the other one spends all her time tearing down what other teams accomplish just so his looks better by comparison. It's so petty and draining, and I'm getting sick of watching good work get buried just because some people can't stand not being the center of attention.

@eg That really doesn't narrow it down all that much
@OP I'll raise you a useless Senior Director in America who couldn't lead an engineering team if it's life depended on it, yet it has been employed for many years.
@OP Is it under Marty Lauren . We have one who just does the same as what you described above .
Reading this post, I'm seeing that I'm blessed as far as OT employees go. The three up my chain of command are bland functionaries looking to secure their fief more than making any mark. They range from go-along-get-along up to kind of nutty, but they don't possess any jealous zealotry. In the last re-org our director moved a gaggle of oldtimers that were left from the original team (before I and a another were added) under them, as opposed to down the food chain. Looking at the org chart, you can see the pieces they intend to bust off.
So, I don't believe them whatsoever when they say they had no idea when someone on their team falls to the long knives. There's a pattern. Lately, it's a poor microfocus person that was the last to find out their product has been cast in amber, and now they drift, lightly tasked until the inevitable happens. I feel for this person.
That said, I've had to interact with this or that director that was intense, unpleasant, and unhelpful.
@ae I digress
@a6 All hail the gibberish troll!
Same with BJP we need to put the effigy of fruits of every politicians favorite to burn baby burn like MAGA witches go for with the sorcerers of darkness Rubio and Gor.
@OP "...her time tearing down what other teams accomplish just so his..."
Your mixed pronoun usage is either very modern, or you don't know how to write effectively. I'm going to guess the latter.
