Currently my base is higher but no RSU, so having trouble comparing

I wouldn't. Just keep on having good ideas, it'll sort out in time.
I was in this same position for a while but the person taking credit for my ideas was my boss. It's a dangerous spot to be in. I handled it by not sharing any ideas with him individually and only sharing when we were in meetings with other people so there were witnesses that they were mine. He still tries, but now everyone knows they're mine so they ignore him.
CD1 - don't want to speak for the OP but in the non agency world great ideas regularly come from a variety of roles. At least in my experience. It's not so restrictive (an attitude I find disheartening in agencies).
@CD1 and Director1 - “ideas” like recommendations, solutions, how to approach managing the client, project, team, the business. The shit account people do.
CD 1, I’m a director but haven’t updated my title on FB, but that’s irrelevant because anyone can have good ideas. Also, you do realize that accounts and businesses run because of ideas that come from stupid old account people. Without a business there’s no need for creative...keep that in mind.
CD1 - do you bully everyone this way or just those you believe are beneath you?
2/2 as his own (but they aren’t executed well so i wouldn’t want credit for the actual work). I finally called him out in a polite, slightly passive way today. Should i tell my boss that some of these ideas are mine? I need her to know that I’m doing something and just not getting credit!
Does he have to act as your go-between? Are there opportunities for you to present your ideas in meetings, or even in emails where more people are copied?
I was recently in a similar situation. The agency fast-tracked young men in their careers very quickly. It was real bad shit and I saw a number of examples of this in my time there. The person taking credit was my boss, a peer in every respect (a man, I am a woman). I made a point to share my ideas in group settings, capitalize on my knowledge of the client and all the details (which was his weakness) in a more public way. Eventually others caught on and quickly became appalled by the staffing situation in general. He had the same years of experience as I but way less diversity as far as agency and accounts. Keep at it. Your sharpness and savvy will be noted.
AS1, thank you 🙌🏽
I’d love to let a CD try to manage clients, apply data to build business models and allocate a multimillion dollar budget. Oddly enough, all of the aforementioned tasks require solution oriented, creative thinking and these “ideas” that only creatives are thought to have.
Well congrats on the promotion, my suggestion is to keep doing good work, be humble, don't pick fights (even if you're right) and remember that everyone on the team who thinks their stuff is the most important is likely wrong. And yes that sometimes includes creatives.
And ps: Self importance in anyone junior is the most insufferable stuff, don't confuse being ambitious with being annoying.
But hey, we should all be so lucky that you'll be making some world-altering spreadsheets and coming up with great unique never heard of ideas of how to communicate internally in your team. Or a very cool, profitable and wealth-generating timeline of deliverables that someone else will actually make. And you'll be using terms like "circle back" 50 times a day. Maybe you'll even make a power point or two. Probably two, and they will have so many pages. And the word "cadence." You go get them!
Always No to bullying. But always Yes to snarky banter.
I’m providing him with ideas for his area (since I’m not at an agency right now roles and responsibilities are suuuuper weird). So these were things that needed to be implemented in his space (because this place is stuck in the Stone Age) but he had no prior knowledge of them. So, being new and coming from and agency, i was trying to help optimize (which is part of my job). I wanted to avoid pitching ideas to the leadership team and then having them force them on people because i truly wanted to find out what would work best for the people actually doing the work first. Looks like that was a mistake.
Yes, never share ideas with him
You sure they were that unique that your super hadn't already thought of them? Or that they warrant ownership? Not to be crude but you're an account supervisor, what kind of ideas where you presenting?
Hey AS1 I was sticking up for the OP! 😉
CD1, I would recommend that you read your initial comment and then your advice. Practice what you preach.
Oh wow you really got me there
Ok gang. Break it up.
