An employee at a mid-size logistics company shared on Reddit that his manager took full credit for a two-month project he completed, which involved creating a detailed process guide for the department. After submitting the guide, the employee received praise from his manager, who then presented the guide as his own in a company-wide email, omitting any mention of the employee's contributions. When the employee confronted his manager, he was told that the manager had merely 'compiled and finalized' the document, a claim the employee disputed with saved drafts as evidence. Despite support from coworkers, who privately expressed their discontent, they chose not to speak up, leaving the employee torn between escalating the issue and risking office politics or remaining silent to maintain workplace stability. This situation raises questions about professional recognition and the ethics of credit in the workplace.
