    Boss takes full credit for tech employee's presentation, employee goes to VP before boss's performance review: 'Guess who didn't get credit for strategic contributions?'

    Everyone knows what it feels like for someone to take credit for your accomplishments. 

    If this brings back memories of middle school group projects, don't worry. We've all been there. However, most of the time, we expect those students who never pulled their weight to mature out of these practices. Unfortunately, most folks like this tend not to learn. You will likely end up working with these types of people professionally, and yes, they might even be your superiors.

    In this instance, we have an employee at a mid-sized tech company who happily shared a presentation he had been working on tirelessly to his boss, hoping to earn some validation ahead of his performance review. The very next morning, the entire team gathered for a large meeting, wherein the author's boss loaded his subordinate's presentation with no changes whatsoever. He then proceeded to deliver said presentation as if the work were his own. Yes, the boss's superiors were also present for this meeting.

    Keep scrolling below to find out how the author ultimately advocated for himself to let the record show who was actually putting in the work around there!
