What should I do about a coworker who took credit for work we both did? Should I bring it up in my 1:1 with my manager tomorrow?

[Anonymous]

My coworker didn't mention my name at all when discussing a project during a meeting today, though we've both done a ton of work on it. What should I do about this? I have a 1:1 with my manager tomorrow, should I bring it up and what would be a diplomatic way to do so?

Taking credit while not giving credit where credit is due is wrong in so many ways. However before I say anything I would look closely to see if adding my name to it will help or hurt me. Is the project finished? Is it creditable work or will it bring hard feelings and blame? It it is a good thing then yes say something but if she will be blamed for not completing or referencing then leave it to her so you don’t take blame too.

Innocently ask the manager if he wants you to clarify or to explain further details of the work where it comes to your own contributions. Don't specify what exactly this could be. Let the manager come to own conclusions.

Your manager needs to have an accurate understanding of who contributed what.

Just politely tell your manager that you helped out on that project too

[AI Opinion]

It's definitely important to address this situation. In your 1:1 with your manager, you could mention the collaborative nature of the project and highlight your contributions. Approach the topic diplomatically by expressing your enthusiasm for the project and mentioning your involvement, without pointing blame. You might say something like, "I’m proud of the work we did on the project. I'd appreciate any opportunity to discuss how I contributed." This approach maintains professionalism while making your contributions clear.

Why not. You can ask how they liked it and you can explain your part of it and as a team player you can say something good about the person you worked with

[ohsheeT]

But be honest on what you did done and only what you done

[Renegade_Sailor]

Ask your manager a question "were you happy with the work we did on that? I never got any feedback?"

Then when your manager doesn't realize you were involved act embarrassed.

They'll figure it out

I say let it go. But do not let it happen again.

You should meet her in the bathroom with a sock full of quarters and knock her ass out cold. Thats how we handled things in the factory. God I miss working in a factory where life wasn't fake as fuck.

Let your other work you do individually do all the talking

[Anonymous]

I will definitely do this because you don't wanna appear like you were the lazy person

[Catailian94]

I have an idea, but I might come back and bite you. But I’m spiteful.

[Sluttt]

Yes tell the manager about it of course. Communication is pivot

[MySunflowerSophia]

Tell them. That's just not fair.

[Jeff51]

I would say something

[Heusus]
