Taking full credit for partially done work.
So I was walking by my managers office to meet a different manager and overheard this conversation. I saw my colleague with my manager and senior manager talking and it so happened that my senior manager mentioned a document that was done by my colleague and myself. My colleague claimed that it was her that had written the entire document and she said that I did not contribute at all. Should I talk to my manager about this or talk to her? Is it worth it because I am looking outside for jobs anyway.
If you did really contribute, go tell your manager and show the proof that you contributed ( edit history etc.). It seems that woman is a talker, idiots like these fill the industry these days
Lol.. don't show edit history and stuff. That's childish crap. Go ask your manager for feedback on that doc that you wrote in collaboration with your peer and that will indirectly tell them that you have an Ahole team mate. Simple!
Well, no one believes just words these days. And when you get into sensitive things like these, people would want accuracy and credibility. I would say go ahead and show the edit history casually.
You should do it not just for yourself but for the company.
Without actually saying that hey i did that - you are wrong. Send an email to your manager - asking how did he liked your contribution on the paper(whatever you worked) and what are his thoughts. Your manager should ask - what was that you worked or whatever- making it easy for you to lead the conversation the way you wanted.
This document was done 4 months ago. Such email exchange on feedback was already done at that time. But people (including managers) have short memory. I think that she felt comfortable lying because I wasnt there to fact check.
I understand. Then may you can mention something in your 1-1
If itās 4 months back, why would it matter now? Trying to understand the point of bringing this into picture with your manager if his memory is weak š
it's annual review time. š She is hoping to get a promotion.
And it is plain wrong to take full credit and deny other person credit for half of the contribution made. Whether 4 months ago or 10 years ago.
Oh man I hope you guys donāt work on the glucose monitor project. I want to think that device is made by a great team of A-players!
Perhaps. I don't work on that.
My manager has been changing author of Excel and other documents to put his name. He forwards the email for my work to executives by deleting text from my forward. Life sucks..I guess suck it up or quit. I could only suck it up for while, now leaving
wow. this sucks bad.
You should hide evidence in the office header information. Thatās how they caught the BTK killer also.
If you are looking anyways, then whats the harm in talking? At least they will know the truth.
This. No way you can just let her profit off the š of your labor
