## Transcript

Unfortunately, there are people like this in every office. Credit mongers and people who are willing to throw you under the bus. But there's lots you do to make sure that this is not the situation that you're in, and even make better of the situation for yourself. First, try to get ahead of the situation. If you're working on an important project don't just get in touch with your boss and let him know what's going on, cc higher ups and your colleagues to let everyone know about the progress you're making, good feedback you're getting from clients, that way your boss won't be the only one in the know about what's going on.

Now if something does happen and there is a mistake and your boss blames your or a member of your team for it. Don't spend time griping about it. You're just gonna look like you're on the defense, and it's really gonna not help you at all just to gripe about the situation. What you should do is sit down with your boss and talk about it. After all, there may be a real reason that the boss thinks that there's something that you did. You wanna understand that and focus on solutions to the problem, not about complaining about it. Now if you see your boss taking credit for your work in front of other people or in a meeting, play up to your boss's ego.

After all, you want to make them feel like you're on the same team. So it's okay to say, yeah, that was great that you led the team doing this. It really gave me an opportunity to accomplish this. That way people know exactly what role that you played. Talk to your colleagues too. People will appreciate it if you're not the only one who's also trying to get credit. Your boss shouldn't be the only one who knows how well you're doing on your job, or if you have some problems. Make some friends in higher places. That's gonna help you deflect any problems if you have someone who's trying to take credit for your work, or unfairly judges you.

And it may even give you an opportunity to get ahead. [ MUSIC ]
