Coworker took credit for your work
What NOT to say: “That was actually MY work.”
Sounds defensive. Creates an awkward standoff. You look petty even when you're right.
What to say instead: “I'd love to walk through the details since I built it from the ground up. Can I share what went into it?”
Why it works: You're claiming your work by being the person who clearly knows it inside and out. Everyone connects the dots.
Every answer includes: the situation, what NOT to say, what to say instead, why it works, and what to do if they push back.
