Narcissist Behavior Q&A
🏆 They take credit for my work
When your ideas and results are being taken, protecting your claim starts with transparent work records.
The short answer
The work you did and its results can be established by the record.
Scenes like this
- Your idea got presented in the meeting as their proposal.
- The wins traveled to them; only the problems kept your name.
How to tell the difference
Speaking of team results together is different from erasing what you did.
When this happens, try this
- Right after the meeting, put it on record by email or work chat: "I'll write up and circulate idea A, which I presented today."
- Steadily archiving your proposals, working files, and dated deliverables in your own folder is how your credit survives.
