My pro tip is- never send emails to just one person, especially those with work you’ve invested so much time and effort in. With reports, presentations, concepts, etc, send to your supervisor and their supervisor and another person (if you are in a department or working on a similar project, copy the other team) “for their comments.” That way, people see what you are doing and what you are capable of. But also it helps to improve your work… in the workplace, everyone is looking out for themselves. It’s a jungle. Never let anyone steal your work.
I’ve been here before and I can tell you that no mature conversation with that supervisor will get them to credit you but there are some clever ways to get you seen. For starters, don’t sit back and hope they’ll hand you credit or that the superiors will see you… you have to push ko. Petty me would start cc the superior in those emails. But also, now that you’ve established the boss is approachable, have a conversation with them about if they could mentor and guide you to get better at your work and then highlight the work you’ve done so they can see your contribution. During work presentations or other opportunities you may find to engage the boss, talk about the work you’ve done “For example, when I worked on abc or when I handled xyz”…. It’s a subtle way to highlight your contribution. Any right thinking boss would see and connect the dots and if supervisor hasn’t been inviting you to meetings, the boss himself will and start to ask for your contribution directly. You have to be a little ambitious for your work to be seen and valued.
Just come around to reading this and it's well put. Closed mouths don't get fed. I wish people would gather courage to even subtly make their work known. Workplace politics? hmm!
Office politics banange! I agree with Blessing that it is important not to burn bridges! The supervisor should acknowledge to the lady that you are making me look good and hopefully work well and always put in a word for her person but munange humans are selfish and are always looking out for themselves so look out for you too
For starters, I think, she would have talked to the boss the momen he was telling her to improve here and there that was her gap to clarify, but nonetheless..I she should now wait for the Supervisor the next time she tells her to do some work for, and then gladly inform her what the boss told her and that the work she presents is good but ask her why she doesn't give credit where it's due😂😂😂😂 And the

This is so wise! And have you seen people you email and with others in copy only for them to continuously reply to you alone? Consistently. Shady!

I wish people knew in the slightest, how motivational it is to credit a subordinate!
For starters, I think, she would have talked to the boss the momen he was telling her to improve here and there that was her gap to clarify, but nonetheless..I she should now wait for the Supervisor the next time she tells her to do some work for, and then gladly inform her what the boss told her and that the work she presents is good but ask her why she doesn't give credit where it's due😂😂😂😂

Good thought! But some supervisors are lethal, lol
