In a meeting with the department head, your superior takes credit for the work of a colleague who isn't present. You support a family and need your job. Do you set the record straight?

That is a hard one to deal with, but sounds so like what we deal with ALL the time! We have a very controlling and bossy office manager who if it is HER idea, it is all good; but if someone else has it than she ignores it but will present that idea someone else talked to her about to the "boss" and then gets all the credit for it! I get so mad! BUT I have to have my job and an income, but we have to work with her so we have learned to just ignore her ways. We all know how she is and someday it will come back to bite her in the butt!! She will tell all of us we can't have overtime but she will come in early and get all of this overtime and makes the rest of us look bad! She does a lot of things like that. A few of us went to our boss one time when she was out and talked to him about these things and guess what...nothing was done! So it continues to go on. Sounds like this superior thinks they are just that
>>Superior!>> you can try to go to the department head with the person that got screwed over this, I hope they would listen. But be careful you don't make things on yourself bad for it too..I know it goes on all the time no matter where you work and it sucks! Just be careful anytime any of us confront our manager she gets mad at us and it makes it hard to go to work for the next week. She recently got mad at me and wouldn't talk to me or acted like I was invisible for a few days until I made her start talking to me...she is a big baby!! lol
Good luck!!!!
