I work at a flight center for a private company and security is contracted out- we have new policies to follow since 9/11 so the TSA, ATF, and NTSB show up from time to time for inspections so the company can aquire a certificate to be able to land in D.C. Recently, I wrote up a procedure for our manual explaining how security officers should handle the arrival of government agencies to the clients property. I submitted it to the client first who approved the procedure for our manual and then I sent it to the client's security manager and my direct supervisor so they know what's going on too. A couple days later the exact same procedure- word for word- appeared in a new training manual put together by my supervisor. It is my contention, based on prior experience, that she will try to take credit for the procedure I wrote. Since the only thing that gets you promoted in security is performance I don't want her to lay claim to my hard work...besides she doesn't even work in the same

I WOULD GO TO YOUR SUPERVISOR'S SUPERVISOR! SHOW HIM/HER THE ORIGINAL OF WHAT YOU WROTE. MAKE DAMN SURE YOU GET THE CREDIT. PEOPLE LIKE YOUR SUPERVISOR ARE LEECHES AND WILL RISE TO THE TOP ON THE BODIES OF OTHERS IF YOU LET THEM. STOP IT NOW. GOOD LUCK HUNNY AND I HOPE YOU DO GREAT!

Buy or download a free PDF maker. ANYTHING that you write either leaves your hands as paper with your name on it OR as a PDF with your name on it. When asked for the word document, ask what changes need to be made and that you will make them since you authored the document.

your basically screwed the only way to protect something you wrote is to copyright it. after you write anything at the bottom write copywrite then the date and your name. while i don't think this will be a legal copywrite others will get the picture not to steal your words

Go to her and explain calmly your thoughts. Tell her that what she did is not right and explain the steps you are going to go though to get the issue resolved. Go to her manager...etc etc...but involve her. she may do the right thing, or she may show her true colors....
