How to Respond When a Colleague Takes Credit for Your Work

It's one of the most frustrating workplace situations: you do the work, and a colleague presents it as their own. In this episode, Lucas and Luna break down a real case from a listener at a mid-size marketing agency whose manager presented her campaign analysis in a leadership meeting without mentioning her name. They walk through the specific steps to document the contribution, choose the right moment to speak up, and frame the conversation around team outcomes rather than personal grievance. Lucas shares a script for addressing it with both the colleague and higher-ups, and Luna explains why the 'praise in public, correct in private' principle actually works here. They also discuss when to let it go versus when it signals a systemic pattern worth escalating. If you've ever been sidelined on a project you led, this episode gives you a concrete framework for reclaiming visibility without burning relationships. #CareerAdvice #WorkplaceConflict #CreditTheft #OfficePolitics #ProfessionalGrowth #Visibility #CommunicationSkills #WorkplaceCulture #Leadership #Accountability #ConflictResolution #Teamwork #CareerStrategy #JobAdvice #Careers #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #OfficeHoursWithFexingo Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
