Your teammates may not even notice that you're fighting it -- they may just see a target low on health and kill it immediately. If they're using a high-damage weapon or power, it's pretty easy to just reflexively snap off an attack that will instantly kill something so weak. As for personal glory, I have two things to say:

1. It is a team game, and what matters is the team's victory. If you want to be the star of the show, there's a pretty good single-player game on the same disc.

2. If you don't like the results you're getting, try playing differently. If you like shooting, try being an Inflitrator with a high-damage sniper rifle; with Tactical Cloak and a headshot, you can kill basic enemies with one shot, so you don't have to worry about others killing something you've started on. Or put some time into learning how to use a powers class, like an Adept or Engineer, as I've suggested before -- you'll be able to dish out a lot of damage without needing high-end weapons, and you'll also provide useful crowd control for your team.
