My boss keeps using my ideas in meetings without credit. Last week they pitched something I suggested privately to them, and everyone praised their “brilliance.” I stayed quiet, but it’s becoming a pattern. I’m torn between calling it out in the moment or addressing it privately later. What’s the right move here if I want credit without damaging the relationship?

Casually drop, “Glad you liked my idea from last week!” mid-meeting. Petty? Sure. But so is stealing credit. Sometimes you have to play the game.

Definitely address it privately first, there coild very much just be a misunderstanding but if they continue to do it 100% call them out.
