Ever had anyone take credit for work YOU have done??

yeah, i once had a boss like that. not only did he take the credit but he also took the opportunities that come along with it, like the travel and perks and so much more. when i resigned from that project, he did not report it to his superiors. when the superiors came for a visit and ran on a glitch on calculations they were experimenting on and everbody on the team and the foreign consultants could not find what's the glitch... the head of all superiors asked my boss..."who's the math wiz here?" unfortunately for my boss, somebody uttered my name. and the head said, "so, where is she?" (meaning, me). boy oh boy, my former boss was in a hot seat for a while for failure to report that i resigned from the project and i wasn't credited for all my contributions in the project.

all the time, but my philosophy is let them do that for in due time the truth will always come out.

That hasn't happened yet, and it won't either. I make sure that I copyright what I do, or I have proof that I did it first, so no one will be able to take credit for work that is not theirs. If it is mine, I make sure that I can prove it.

Yep-- it happens right at work- I love it- I do the work and my co-worker takes the credit- It used to drive me crazy- but I know that my boss knows the difference- I went on a mini vacation- and nothing got done- He called me into his office when I got back and asked me if I'm the one who does the most of the work- BINGO!

For me, it was a co-worker. She was young and pretty and although she wasn't my boss, she was from another department and I had to work with her. If our team did something collectively great, she got the credit. If she made a bad decision, it was our fault. She wasn't very bright but used her good looks and talkativeness to get ahead. Not to mention, she was later rumored to have had romantic relations with the boss. Shortly after I left the company, I heard they let go of her too. Apparently good looks didn't take her very far although it took the company pretty long to see past through it.

Goodness I thhik we worked for the same guy!!!! I designed a whole brochure and he took it made one litle change and actually passed it off as if he had done all the work...I was so angry but what could I say? He even had the nerve to say how wonderful the brochure turned out and could I call the printer for him....I wanted to put him through the printer

i have experienced this several times already and i really hate it when people praise them for a job well done when in fact, they did not really exert any effort to accomplish the task. i just keep quiet about it but when i get the chance to talk to the person about what he/she has done, i do talk to them about it and tell them how i exactly feel. of course, they won't admit what they have done. well...

No, thank goodness! Sorry that you have. Have faith. People that are dishonest get caught and once they do, their word is no good. If you don't have your good word, you haven't got much at all.

A lot of times but the two that tick me off more than everything is a guy taking all credit for a website I designed for him and bosses at work taking credit for work I or others have done. One of many reasons I haven't been to work in 2 weeks.
