Dear Mayank,
My boss has a habit of stealing my ideas.
The idea is mine, but the boss presents it as hers.
I have talked to her about this but she says it is a team effort. Once, she got very angry and said I was self-centred and if I did not like the job I should leave.
Jobs are not easy to get plus I like the place.
At the same time, I do want credit for my ideas.
Can you please help?
Thanks

Ans: Hi,
Since you have been in the same company for 15 years , please speak with your boss in private and let him know that you are not very comfortable with his approach.If that is not working try and speak with your super boss . Meanwhile start searching for a job and start attending interviews aswell. It is much easier speaking to your boss when you have a backup offer in your hand.,

Ans: Hi!!

When I was working in the corporate world, the oft repeated quote was, "people don't leave the company ,they leave bad bosses".
Your manager's boss is your super boss, rt? Can't you go and speak to him directly and put your concerns across?
I am sure the HR must have noticed that people are quitting and might have explored the reasons why they are doing so too, do check with them.
I fail to understand why women should not cooperate with each other. You can also explore the option of talking directly to the manager and telling her if your actions in any way have caused some misunderstanding and if she says yes then you are willing to clear them. Also tell her that you are not eyeing her post and you are just trying to do your job well. I did the same with one of my bosses, it worked for me, we became the best of friends, we are still in touch. You need to think which is your best option and choose one from all the possible solutions I have mentioned. You can always quit, that's the last option I feel..

Hoping you choose wisely..All the very best!!

Ans: Hello
Such things don't have long shelf life. Sooner or later things unfold on their own and people do tend to know the reality.
Hence it should not bother you much instead focus on real values/stuff as being innovative, sincere and a team player and results will speak on their own.
All the Best!!

Ans: Hi!!

Thankfully this is your co-worker and not your boss. When bosses do this you can do nothing about it....when the co worker does it then you know that you should never share your ideas with them ever again. In the cut throat competitive world why will they share the credits for it with you...!T he way you have asked the question, it shows that you are a good person, good people should not change because of the bad people in the world. So my advice to you is this ...the coworker is selling your ideas.. the boss is liking them, so have faith in yourself and your ideas.
Every bad experience happens so that you become wiser.
Become wise do not share your ideas with people who don't give you credit.

Other option is you talk to him/her assertively, one on one and ask why he/she did this....calling your idea silly and then repackaging it and presenting before the boss. Next time he/she will be careful not to do this to you.
