Has a co-worker ever taken all of the credit for YOUR hard work?

Question

Is there anything that can be done about it?

Answer 1

Yes...nothing can be done besides telling the truth that you did it but be the buigger person and don't worry about it for the saying is true what goes around comes around and maybe one day they will be asked to do the same task over again and you won't be there to bail them out. Then the truth will come out on its own.

Answer 2

Yea.  I just let them and then when the thing comes back for revision or more work, I hand it to that person and their inability to do the job shows big time, then you tell your manager that you'll take over and get the job done.  IF the client calls in with questions, just route the call to the big shot to handle and if he gives a wrong answer, just say very loud so the client can hear that that's not correct.  If you're lucky, the client will have a lot of questions that will overwhelm him.

Answer 3

Yes, what comes around, goes around, believe in Karma!

Answer 4

Go to your boss and tell him/her that you heard <insert coworker's name> was taking the credit for <insert task's name>, but that couldn't be right because you were the one working on it for the past <insert number of hours or days>.

Answer 5

You always have to be careful and never give out you own ideas or projects to anyone. Don't trust anyone at work and don't let anyone notice anything new that you're up to even if they act friendly and go out with you. Also, be careful not to say anything personal about yourself to anyone from work. It could cause you trouble. If it had already happened to you, just let it pass and eventually people may understand that it wasn't his/her work. Something may slip and they'll discover who did this in the first place.

Answer 6

This happens all the time and there isn't much you can do about it. Nothing, that is, except for what I did: I started my own business out of my home. I take all the credit for everything I do because there's no one else who can do it!

Answer 7

They try to but in the end the truth always came out...bd

Answer 8

Yes it has happened to me but i soon realized that the same demands where put on this person and he ended up looking stupid, and guess who stepped in and saved the day? Oh yes. Me! karmas a b*tch

Answer 9

Stand up for yourself!

Don't be the office pushover that everyone can boss around. Take pride in your work and let others know it.

Answer 10

Yes. I don't know. It's a slippery slope. There are risks. It was my boss.
