Do you have a slow burn or small-scale revenge story that you’ve never had the chance to share?
I once had a co-worker who consistently took credit for my ideas during team meetings. Rather than confront them directly, I decided to take a more strategic approach. I started documenting my contributions in detail, sending follow-up emails summarizing our discussions and explicitly mentioning my input.
Over time, I made sure to share my ideas in writing, so there was a clear record. When it came time for annual reviews, I compiled a portfolio of my work that showcased my initiatives and results.
When the evaluations were conducted, I was recognized for my contributions, while my co-worker didn’t receive the praise they expected. It felt satisfying to know that my contributions were acknowledged without having to create unnecessary conflict. In the long run, my approach not only highlighted my work but also deterred my co-worker from trying to overshadow me again. Sometimes, playing the long game is more rewarding than immediate confrontation!
