What has worked for me is to document my achievements on LinkedIn and continue to work with more team members at my different work places. Ultimately do not let it get to you but rather focus on producing your best so that when you apply for another company, they can see a star that you are and it will be easy to move from that toxic environment and GROW.

These situations can happen to anyone. I would start by documenting my contributions carefully. As a straightforward person, I’d have an honest, private conversation with the team member to address my concerns. If the behavior continues, I would escalate it to management with evidence, staying calm and professional to maintain a positive atmosphere.

Unfortunately, it's a common problem in many companies; Well, in my opinion, these are some ways: 1-Stay Calm and Assess the Situation 2-Address the Issue Directly 3-Document Your Contributions 4-Involve Management if Necessary 5-Promote a Collaborative Environment By approaching the situation thoughtfully and assertively , you can address the issue of credit-taking while maintaining professionalism and fostering a positive work environment.

When you create processes, facilitate meeting/training, have verbal conversations- make sure you are documenting your contributions. Some people will take credit for your work without hesitation & on purpose, but there are some people who resonate with your thoughts, ideas, trainings and then paraphrase what you provided in to their own understanding and can actually feel as if they came up with the concept, idea, training on their own. Open & honest conversations and siting your work goes a long way in keeping your credit.

If a colleague takes credit for my work then i need to improve my branding upon presentations , projects and stop sharing my work casually. Guarding my intellectual space is not my right but an obligation. So without creating any animosity i shall start blocking that person's attempts to take false credits . For all insensitive tasks i may forge work partnerships with other colleagues . Bypassing and directly reporting to our immediate superior will also be an effective way to deal with this mean practice .
