For what it is worth. I found out last week I was excluded as a credited inventor on a patent that I worked for 2.5 years on. Industry does this stuff too...

I know it may not be worth pursuing, but that specifically can invalidate a patent.

Correct. I have already reached out to my former company and I have a stack of paperwork coming to "correct the oversight" it helps that the company didn't know that the patent application had been filed by the client.

Umm, that sounds very illegal?

It sounds that way because it is.
