Taking Credit
Now for some frustrating stats! One survey found that over 60% of employees have had a colleague take credit for their work at some point. And let’s be real; it’s not exactly the most uplifting feeling to have someone else bask in the glory of your hard work. So, what can you do about it?
Well, one option is to lean into it and start taking credit for things you didn’t do. “Oh, that special report? Yeah, I totally did that. And the invention of the light bulb? All me.” Of course, this might not be the most mature approach, but sometimes you’ve just got to have a little fun with it.
