Getting correctly credited for yourworkis a core part of being motivated in your career.
However, this backfired spectacularly in public.
Not only is this unethical, it can have very real repercussions on your career.
Colleagues, managers, and bosses who take credit for others work are only going to demotivate their teams.
Getting angry in situations that are unjust is natural.
Accidents do happen sometimes.
you’re gonna wanna consider things objectively before accusing someone.
Get a lay of the land first.
Consider meeting with them and asking about how they gave credit for the project or presentation.
It can be helpful to understand their viewpoint before suggesting solutions or approaching a manager.
Then, after speaking with the credit thief, you might suggest a few potential solutions to them.
It helps a lot if youve been keeping a record of all the work that youve done.
At the end of the day, your work doesnt always speak for itself.
From time to time, you better be vocal about your contributions so that youre crediting properly.
Everyone at work can contribute to a culture of transparency and sharing credit.
That being said, there are some common sense limits to this.
Focus your recognition on the people who truly deserve it.
Heres how some internet users reacted to the story.
Heres their perspective on what happened
