They just use your mind and they never give you credit. It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it.
It's a doggy dog world, but still. Can't believe he has the audacity to tell such bald-faced lies in front of your face! Sly dudes like him will do a complete 360 the moment you turn your back. Don't let him take your kindness for granite.
He didnt know I had got back to my cubicle. Today when that thing came up about him rying to find the right person to direct calls to, I just interjected (within the flow) myself because I didnt feel like hearing him say he figured something out when we didnt I can try. Im also the youngest person in the company by six years (he is 7 yrs older) so he just has more professional experience than I. And I thought I was good when I finessed my way in as a temp and replaced someone who was here 10 years
Throw hands or better eveen, fill his desk, keyboard, mouse, computer screen and chair with c*m - that you fap from hottest xxxx chick thread in hangout
If you're willing to help but expect acknowledgement in return, then maybe you shouldn't be helping. I help with the expectation that it will never come back to me. Granted I also give credit when someone tells me something, but that's something my parents taught me young. I see why you're frustrated but at the same time you gotta let it go. Your expectations of others is unrealistic.
Karma is coming for you. First this guy will embarrass you in front of your boss. Then you will get fired, replaced by a tempt after spending 10 years of your life being a "team player".
Not if you keep thinking up solutions to stuff and start bringing it to the boss first, otherwise you're losing out on a valuable ally or reference down the road. Notice he didn't have any trouble performing the task or relaying it to manager once you showed him, so no reason to assume he wouldn't have figured it out, and won't improve on it, come up with new stuff going forward, or worse, ask someone else and proclaim that you refused to help him. Bring the issue up with him: not necessarily in hopes of an apology or change of behavior, but to find out if he's a lying sack of ****, a hostile jerk, or vindictive enough to complain about/sabotage you to your manager.
Hey I didnt backstab the guy. Just came in and did the job. He quit actually and I dont think I had much at all to do with it. And if I did, it was only because I got some programs he had wanted.
No. Not at all. This is how people get promoted ahead of you This is how when nut cutting time comes. . it's you and not him in business. . . PERCEIVED GREATNESS IS ACHEIVED GREATNESS If this goes on .. he will be your boss in a year they will quote the MBA as the reason but these little victories and getting eyes on himself is the real reason Rocket River Closed mouth does NOT get fed.
No, you're not. He's an *******. What you've described is more than enough to peg him. He'll continue to do ******* things like that, and they'll probably escalate to bigger things he takes credit for. Keep an eye on him. Make sure you have proof that you've done things he might take credit for. Also, don't sweat it that he has an MBA, and you have an Associate's. Who KNOWS more? Sounds like you do. Practical experience trumps additional education almost all the time. Keep doing your thing and enhancing your skills. He'll eventually either start doing the same, reach a limit to his abilities he didn't expect, or he'll get caught taking other people's credit. Source: I'm the VP of a small engineering company involved in most hires. We've hired multiple PhDs that couldn't figure out the most basic practical things. Meanwhile, I have a guy without a high school education, but he's seen EVERYTHING and knows or can figure out ANYTHING. Experience almost always trumps education. I've been involved in plenty of HR issues and firings as well. Simple tells like what you've described are usually just the tip of the iceberg.
Sadly the PhDs allow them to be promoted more in alot of places I worked with a MSCE who could not change the display settings on a computer. . . .. . Rocket River
