1 Assess Intent

Before confronting your boss, take a moment to evaluate the situation. Sometimes, credit may be taken unintentionally, as part of a team's collective success being attributed to its leader. Consider the context in which your work was presented and whether there might have been a misunderstanding. Keeping a level head and giving your boss the benefit of the doubt initially can prevent unnecessary conflict and help you approach the conversation with a constructive mindset.

2 Document Work

To prevent future occurrences, make it a habit to document your work and contributions. Keep a detailed record of the projects you're involved in, the ideas you propose, and any positive feedback you receive. This can be as simple as saving emails, taking notes during meetings, or maintaining a work diary. Having tangible evidence of your contributions can support your case if you need to discuss credit attribution with your boss or HR.

Actually, I'll always seek to share my ideas and my work contribution by email showing the purposes and the goal. Adressing my emails by sending formal ones to my boss and to other effective members who are involved in the project. Making sure that my contribution is clear and obvious. Finally I usually prepare hard documents to be signed by my boss in addition to other members if it is possible and file the original one after scanning and sending copys to all.

3 Private Discussion

When you're ready to address the issue, request a private meeting with your boss. A one-on-one conversation allows for an open and honest dialogue without putting your boss on the defensive in front of others. Express your concerns calmly and clearly, using specific examples of when you felt your work was not properly attributed to you. This approach shows respect for your boss's position while standing up for your professional integrity.

I prefer when have a such situation to discuss it with my boss in a formal meeting. Taking meeting notice to address the issue and the result of our meeting. Finding a suitable solution will be the best way for both of us, but in the case of refusing my manager to accept it, I will share the meeting notice with the higher management level. So I will be sure to declare any misunderstanding or confusion.

4 Focus on Future

During the discussion, shift the focus towards how you can ensure proper credit in the future rather than dwelling on past incidents. Suggest practical solutions, such as being mentioned in project briefings or having a more visible role in presentations. This forward-thinking approach demonstrates your commitment to the team's success and your interest in maintaining a positive working relationship.

This part about focusing on the future is really smart. Instead of getting stuck in the past, it's much better to work together to find a way forward. This way, you show your boss that you're interested in solutions and that you're a team player. It's a win-win!

5 Seek Allies

If direct communication doesn't resolve the issue, consider seeking allies within the organization who recognize your work and can vouch for your contributions. This could be colleagues who have collaborated with you on projects or other supervisors who have observed your work ethic. Having others acknowledge your role can add weight to your claims and may encourage your boss to reconsider their actions.

6 HR Intervention

If all else fails and the issue persists, it may be necessary to involve Human Resources (HR). Ensure you have documented your work and attempted to resolve the matter directly with your boss before taking this step. HR professionals are trained to handle such situations and can provide an impartial perspective. They can facilitate a resolution that acknowledges your contributions and helps to foster a fair workplace environment.
