Hi,
personally, I would definitely talk to that peer and express how I feel about her actions. Something along the lines of “I feel it is not fair to call me uncollaborative especially after all the time & effort I put into it.” I would not call her out on her “doing nothing/very little” but would rather focus on my part of the job and how her comment isnt appropriate given the results I had created.
I would also bring up the point about me not getting credited with the senior person. Again, from the point that I´ve noticed not being credited and why is that so?
Sometimes we might wonder that we might be overthinking it and/or how this is not a big deal... and then such things happen again & again & again. I´d much rather do what I can to prevent it from happening again and having any misunderstandings going forward.
Hope this helps and wish you all the best with clarifying these things out! :)
If you’d like to chat further, feel free to message me/connect on LI. I´m a Career Coach. Communication & dealing with tricky work situations is one of the big things I help my Clients with.
I don’t see any reason to address this publicly, but I would ABSOLUTELY have a conversation with her about your feelings - especially if you work together frequently.
I am in learning and would happy to share some conversation frameworks that work well for these types of chats! DM me and we can chat here or take it off fishbowl if you’d are comfy
It went through our internal review process, notes were shared and addressed, and recently it got published. It was shared with the team and I noticed that not only did I *not* get credited with writing the article, the senior person who reviewed and sent back comments did. I'm of the opinion that this is just a slight oversight, but given that everyone other article on this blog credits co-authors it does sting a bit.
Here's my sore point (and maybe I'm overthinking it) - I posted the link to the article on my LinkedIn with a preface talking about my experience, what I'm passionate about and why I wrote the article. Another lady, who contributed absolutely eff all to this whole thing, had the audacity to call me out and say that I wasn't being collaborative by doing that. She also posted the article on her LinkedIn and made a whole fuss about how "amazing it was to work together with everyone on the article".
I'm not sure how to react to this and a little taken aback at her entitlement? She's a peer and has always been a little intimidated by my experience, but calling me uncollaborative for writing an article she did very little to contribute to and then trying to take credit for it just astounds me.
Thoughts and advice welcome.
