I don't buy that people "forget" to give credit and don't have bad intentions. I make sure I speak up and let people formally know my role in things because I in no way am going to allow someone to get ahead of me by using my ideas. I insert myself in conversations and make note of who not to trust.
My problem is with coworkers secretly sabotaging your work and also people (higher ups) who are not giving you opportunity for growth like having favoritism all the best position was given only to one person. I hope you make a video on that. You're videos are so helpful.
Thank you so much Rolan. Ok, I've added these topics to my list and I think they'd be great to do a video on. They should publish in December/January (I prepare many videos in advance so can't publish before then). I'm glad my videos are helpful for you!
I have someone I supervise as her manager, who asks me how to do things all afternoon when it's just her and I in the office, then the next day I hear her telling others what 'she' does for all the things I have shown her how to do. She tells staff in the workplace I made mistakes I didn't. She implies without actually saying that practices, systems and procedures I created are something she created. And she asks me questions then a bit later will question my decision saying she knows it to be something else. Am new to my role and have no clue how to deal with this but am finding it very stressful. She also said she doesn't like that I email her how to do things or what she needs to do, that she wants me just to tell her verbally.
Wait until someone you trained takes credit for projects you led and then gets promoted into the position you had been working towards for years. I learned an important lesson about politics from this though.
For me, it is management and upper management hoping to please the owner of the business, by turning everything "I" do into a "we" did. That, and having to rely on me to "wow" upper management and support things "already said" so that they become true. Like a dog and pony show. Really, its getting in my way, making my job difficult, unneccessary interruptions all for the sake of attempting to show how great we are... when really its just me doing it all.
Sometimes management uses the "we" to show team effort. But they should also be recognising your contribution, both to you individually and publicly. There is a chance upper management knows it you doing all those great things.
So my colleague is having a hard time at the moment, senior management coming down hard on them for letting too much slip, despite them always trying to do "fun" aspects of my role (badly i might add) i felt very sorry for them and have offered my support in many ways. Ahead of an important meeting i worked hard on a comprehensive report and the day before as a favour shared it with that colleague (i know stupid) only for them to claim it as their own and try to take credit for it. So frustrating, now what do i do?
What if the credit stealer has no insight whatever and doesn't apologize. When told off, he ll make lame excuses. When praised, his ego inflates beyond our galaxy, and the stealing continues there after.
I would publicly remind them that they didn't do the work; you did. When you do this publicly, it get people curious as to the truth. You can also inform your supervisor/HR what that person is doing. If they've done it to you, they've likely done it to others as well. Eventually when the truth comes out, people will realise that this person is someone who takes credit for other's work. They'll get a bad reputation.
@@kararonin @Kara Ronin Thanks Kara. He was my training supervisor and still acts like it and gives me the difficult workload when he gets the chance. I asked for help two days ago to half the load and he just sneaked off and disappeared. I recently got a similar qualification. The only difference is the age/experience. He has been sitting on his throne for the past decade and is aiming for a promotion. There are bosses higher up the hierarchy whom he keeps telling he does a lot of work....when he isn't in the office most of the time. I don't feel the need to whistleblow at the moment as it's more comfortable for everyone when he is not around anyway. I'm planning an ambitious project to develop our area but halted because when I think of his parasitic tendencies, I don't want to share an ounce of credit with him or contribute to his targeted promotion....at my expense. He implied I can't make decisions or join other departments' projects/ invitations without going through him first. The last time that happened, he threw tantrums and cried because he wasn't invited. Would emailing everyone on top or involved in this project and just cc him be a good idea? So it doesn't look like I'm undermining his authority but still 100% credited for every ounce of hard-work I put into it, without him sponging on. 🙏

Raise your issue to the boss or someone higher up than you. Focus on your work and stop helping her.

...and what do you do when it is your boss who is giving credit to another KNOWINGLY but also deliberately being obtuse when you bring it up to them.
Or a manager is stealing your credit!! That’s what I’m dealing with. Messy.

It’s usually happening in huge corporations. I know that feeling. Just you should play their game and put yourself in front of others as a leader.

@@kararonin sometimes this does not pan out especially if that person is your superior :-(. Any tips on that?
I love it. Thank you so much❤🌺🙏🌼✌
I'm so glad this video was helpful for you!
there are people nearby me always who really wants to take credits and show mw down its disgusting and feel annoying
Imagine where we would be if nobody took credit for anything
True.
she only said thank you😂 so much insult
On consciousness level we are all one
Nope. I am not on the conscience or conscious level of some of you freaks.
@@bentelbow2922 maybe you live independent of this Universum.
Normaly everything is dependet of everything.
But you are not under this law😂🤣
Thanks for watching! Have you ever had a coworker take credit for your work? How did you handle it?
I wasn’t even being invited on the presentation of the project where only I did the whole thing ! It really hurts but now I don’t believe anyone.
@@EpicDreamer_ that's such a shame Ana. That would make you feel very undervalued at work. I hope this video gave you some ideas on how to handle it.
