@missclairebenjamin: Ever wondered how to call out a sneaky colleague but without stooping to their level? When someone acts in a way that feels sneaky or underhand, it can be really tricky to figure out the best way to respond. Behaviour like this is often subtle therefore others might not notice what’s going on, making addressing it feel even harder. It’s tempting to go in strong and sound accusatory, but this is likely to backfire. If your aim is to stop the behaviour, you have to influence the person. And of course there are no guarantees as we cannot control other people. But we can influence more than we might realise. 💬 Have you ever been in a situation like this?

How about a manager that tells you that you are 100% responsible for a task (constantly intervenes in your work) and when it goes badly, blames you to upper management but when it goes well takes credit for it…

So being passive aggressive is better than being assertive and direct.

People are aware of their actions. I wouldn’t consider this a relationship. Ignoring what someone has clearly asked for shows a lack of respect.

Staying calm is better. Calling her out may not help the situation because she knows what she’s doing and she knows you know. The problem is that she didn’t follow direction and that is what should be addressed and documented nothing else.

So basically don't be direct and be passive aggressive instead... Very British...

I mean, I think the more correct answer is trust no bitch. If you have a really great idea, do not share it with anyone until it is done publicly so someone cannot take credit for it.

Too fluffy! Be direct! I gave you are direct instruction not to share! State your reason why you did that. Now, issue the consequence!

Disagree. You'll just give her an attack surface. Silence is the best weapon. Information is a control surface. If you've got the edge you can afford to learn this lesson and then ensure she's irrelevant in future.
