AD is put on a campaign
AD does the LEAST
AD is taken off project b4 it’s produced
AD puts the entire campaign in her book,
plagiarizes your write up (word for word),
leaves you off her credits

Annnnnnnd absolutely nothing will happen. Don’t dare call this person out, because it will backfire and people will see you as the bad one instead.

Well I’ve heard of people calling out others and instead getting sued. I agree with CC1. Let them take your work. If they’re crazy enough to take credit for stuff they didn’t do, who knows what other crazy they’re capable of...

The only red flag is the plagiarized write up which you can prove.

Everything else is lame but all too common and harder to prove their involvement. I’d let it go. It feels like it’s a generational thing but I think portfolios are just more publicly accessible.

For me it was the absent CDs that took all my work and put it in their books. Although I understand responsibilities change, I’m referring to the completely absent ones.

I’ve had a CD do that to me, and even though he was a CD on the team, he never actually gave any feedback or contributed. We just worked directly with the ECD on it. Entire thing is on his website, with no credits. It is what it is.

That’s how hierarchy works.

Many are wondering what’s wrong with ClearView. The problem is straightforward, if the way ClearView is organizing a project such that when one analyst or senior analyst (22 to 24 year old) fails at something, stakes are high enough that an project’s fate depends on it, then ClearView is putting way too much responsibility on its Junior staff, not promoting and severely underpaying them. Maybe it’s time ClearView brought in a consulting firm to ease its org problems

I remember when I first started working on my thesis project. My adviser asked me to get some funding for it, but he didn't give me any advice about how to do that.

Sure enough, after weeks of writing applications and waiting around for responses from the committee members (who were always too busy), I eventually got approved for funding!
