A REALISTIC WORKPLACE SITUATION · PRACTICAL NEXT STEPS

Someone took credit for your work. Here's what to say.

Your analysis. Their presentation. You do not have to start a confrontation to make your contribution visible.

Watched the Credit Thief episode? Your next step is a free, practical kit, not an instant checkout.

Try a calm starting line

“To clarify my part, I built and checked the model; Alex reviewed the assumptions.”

An illustrative example. Adapt to the facts and tone of your own situation; no outcome is guaranteed.

Some situations need more than a script.

For bullying, discrimination or retaliation, read the free workplace support guide and consider appropriate independent or workplace support. Our materials are educational rather than legal or HR advice.
