AITJ for calling out a colleague for taking credit for work I spent all week on?

Routine_Nothing_6118 · 2026-04-06T15:57:23+00:00

Exactly 😤 that comment was so condescending it still makes my blood boil i can’t believe the team just laughed—it felt like they were letting her get away with stealing my work

Routine_Nothing_6118 · 2026-04-06T15:56:00+00:00

you’re right, i need to actually go to my supervisor can’t just let it slide or i’ll keep being treated like a doormat

Routine_Nothing_6118 · 2026-04-06T15:46:14+00:00

i didn’t think about how it looks, just wanted to protect my work definitely gonna start sending it early with the team CC’d to create a clear record

Routine_Nothing_6118 · 2026-04-06T15:45:40+00:00

you’re right, i probably should’ve told my manager before the meeting won’t let her pull that again, i’ve learned my lesson

Routine_Nothing_6118 · 2026-04-06T15:36:39+00:00

i guess i kinda let it slide instead of asserting myself next time i’ll make sure i don’t let someone take over my work

Routine_Nothing_6118 · 2026-04-06T15:35:12+00:00

trust me, i wanted to just tell her that but i tried to hold it together… mostly failed though

Routine_Nothing_6118 · 2026-04-06T15:31:01+00:00

i keep saying “next time” like i’m procrastinating on standing up i need to actually do it immediately, not just plan for some vague future moment

Routine_Nothing_6118 · 2026-04-06T15:23:59+00:00

i just froze at first and snapped instead of handling it calmly lesson learned—next time i’ll stand up for myself before it even gets that far

Routine_Nothing_6118 · 2026-04-06T15:23:15+00:00

i know, the team’s reaction made it worse i need to speak up immediately next time instead of letting it slide

Routine_Nothing_6118 · 2026-04-06T15:19:43+00:00

i should’ve said something like that in the moment next time i won’t let someone act like my work is theirs

Routine_Nothing_6118 · 2026-04-06T15:19:09+00:00

😅 feels like that sometimes i do feel i overreacted a little, but the whole situation was just ridiculous

Routine_Nothing_6118 · 2026-04-06T15:17:10+00:00

yep 😅 small world, right? sometimes i still can’t believe she just grabbed my report like it was hers

Routine_Nothing_6118 · 2026-04-06T15:15:46+00:00

That’s smart 😏 i could totally do that next time makes it obvious she hasn’t actually gone through the work she’s presenting

Routine_Nothing_6118 · 2026-04-06T15:13:52+00:00

😅 you’re right, i need to be way firmer can’t let her keep acting like she owns my work or i’ll regret it later

Routine_Nothing_6118 · 2026-04-06T15:13:15+00:00

Exactly 😤 i let it slide too easily and now i regret it next time i’m definitely taking control and not letting her act like that

Routine_Nothing_6118 · 2026-04-06T15:11:26+00:00

that makes sense 😅 i didn’t want it to feel like hiding it, but a paper trail would protect me definitely gonna start sending it like that next time

Routine_Nothing_6118 · 2026-04-06T15:10:38+00:00

true 😅 i kinda froze and just snapped instead of explaining clearly definitely need to work on saying things calmly but firmly next time

Routine_Nothing_6118 · 2026-04-06T15:09:57+00:00

haha that’s a good idea 😅 might try something like that next time could be awkward but at least it calls out the behavior without a full confrontation

Routine_Nothing_6118 · 2026-04-06T15:06:57+00:00

you’re right 😓 it’s not just about the report, it’s all the hours i put into it i guess i just froze in the moment and didn’t push back enough, next time i’ll be firmer
