There was a recent post about a previous coworker taking credit for work that was not their’s. I might be working for that person.

They and I worked together a few years back on the same account. Now they are my lead, and they are well loved here and settled in. I only recently had checked out their website to find they had taken credit for work clearly not theirs. Now I have to listen to them drone on about their creative process and I’m just filled with rage.

There are so many of them. I was just working with one myself and I’m positive they are not the same person you’re describing.

There’s someone at my agency who has a portfolio of work that they’ve been peripherally involved in. We call them the Creative Cuckoo.

They muscle their way into anything that’s good and try and takeover by sheer force of personality, bullying and Machiavellian ways.

A very toxic individual.

Kind of sounds like the way creatives try to take credit for the work of directors and editors. 😆

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
