First - if you do work at JPMorgan Chase, I am assuming you are referring to colleagues. If that it true, I would start with calling them women and not girls. Show respect, get respect.
Hey all instead of how she wrote her words focus on what she is asking. I’m sure all she needs all any one needs are comments that say she isn’t respecting them. Or even with other comments bashing her over words that NEITHER of us know why she said it that way. I guess how some are putting in their two cents are no different on her post.
That’s called envy. At least you know you’re doing something right. Just stop sharing info with them
This right here ☝🏻
Ughhhhh! 😩 someone who understands my pain. Thank you for reminding me there are others 😅 honestly, I stop sharing my ideas/value with the people who are intent on proving that they are not trustworthy individuals. Plain and simple.
Met multiple people like this: Some at work, some in my family, and some in church leadership. Some people, I am forced to be around, and that is when I get quiet. It’s ok to be cordial with coworkers and in-laws without telling them your business.
One of my managers sits across from me and has actually tailored multiple customer service responses she uses on the phone after phrases that I came in with myself 🙉 but I feel like if I say that to anyone, I am the one who looks hyper focused smh.
I’ve even tried confronting people like, “Hey I saw you tried some of my ideas. How is that going for you?” And got a, “huh??” Or “well I had the idea a long time ago.” 🙄
I have learned over time one of the biggest favors you can do for yourself is keeping your mouth shut. And I don’t mean that ugly—it’s something that can take discipline for someone who wants to freely trust everyone and make friends 😩 but the emotional energy that you save yourself is worth it.
Ultimately, it is helpful to remember that if you are someone who gets a lot of ideas you notice other people trying to copy, sooner or later, the people who count will recognize you as the original that you truly are. Counterfeit is not sustainable.
Cheers! 💗 I hope you get paid for some of your great ideas very soon ☺️ Happy Holidays
Imitation is still the sincerest form of flattery. I just sit and admire sometimes when people copy. Makes me feel more confident and encouraged in the value of my ideas. Also, it makes me aware of those who are within the realm of my influence and who trust me enough in that regard, which is important in any organization. If they tell me ideas I have told them in the past, I just nod along in agreement and just feel the joy that someone would like to implement an idea I have. (I have had many ideas fail in the past, putting ideas out there can be risky!) If it fails, I have nothing to worry about. If it succeeds, I celebrate mentally. Besides, I know I will have more ideas. It is a test of humility worth building to let go of the desire to be honored.
That’s a a sneaky type of jealousy. Which I think can be so dangerous if it continues .. just slowly distance yourself for them.
I call them do nothing Bitches because they do nothing and take ideas and act on them. I stood up to one of those who stole 4 clients from me
Tip : DOCUMENTATION IS KEY!!! This is not talked about enough - women are guilty of it yes - In my case- Men love to do this too - I combat that and document all ideas I create and make sure I time stamp the email - text - or my idea. When they come out with their version- I simply go to my file and forward the material to all who were notified - REITERATING the day and time I spoke on it or created it. Imagine thier Suprise!!! They LOVE THAT ...and my idea is golden with ME being the owner. I cannot control other people nor is that my motive - I control myself and stay organized 💯 YOU CANNOT GO WRONG DOCUMENTING YOUR IDEAS!! Hope this helps.
I had a female colleague copy a whole program I created - sometimes word for word - and then submit for an award on the program! I often hear female colleagues repeat points I made a few minutes prior as if they were their idea. I find some women I work with incredibly insecure, always trying to score the point rather than support someone else’s
All of this 100%
You're a rain maker, and they know when they see a brainstorm, and all they have is a drizzle. Know that they recognize your brilliance in an underhanded way and that you will always have more ideas.
Is this high school? Ppl really take their mindsets into their environments & attract ppl at their level. I know a few women @JP Morgan Chase & this isn’t their experiences at all.
Need more context on the situation, but it’s possible for others to come up with similar ideas on their own or they could have been subconsciously influenced by you. Maybe they’re sharing what they thought was their idea with you because they see you as like-minded.
Try celebrating the successes of others around you and then maybe they’ll have the idea to do the same.
