I reported a coworker for taking credit for my work. Now nobody on the team talks to me. Was reporting it the wrong move?

  • I would advise addressing it directly one -on-one with the co-worker first. If it still happens afterwards, then report the person. Depending on your... tenure and status with your co-workers, as well as her popularity and standing with her co-workers in the company, it could reflect poorly on you among your teammates, if you could believe that. more

  • Afe you working as ateam or was the work assigned to only you?
    How did she end up taking credit for it?

  • Indeed, don’t let anyone shine with your ideas (speak as happened to me too)

  • If they try to shine again with your work report them again. I have seen people being prompted and favoured by shinning with others efforts that I... cannot allow anyone shine with my work, its very toxic.  more

  • The best approach is to wait until assignments are allocated, then recommend that they take on the most challenging task since they already "shine."... After that, step back and let the work speak for itself.

    In other words, you'll create an opportunity for their actual capabilities to become evident without disrupting the team's morale or productivity. At the end of the day, teamwork will always achieve more than a one-person show.

  • Reporting wasn’t a wrong move, it was the right bold move. If they’re acting that way, more reasons to begin looking elsewhere. Working in unsafe... environment will affect your productivity with time. more

  • If they stole your work and you told the truth, you weren't wrong. People get quiet because they don't want drama, not always because you're the bad... guy. Don't let nobody eat off your hustle. Stand on the truth, keep it professional, and let your work speak for itself. more
