How to Deal With a Boss Who Takes Credit for Your Ideas

2/4/2016

Q) Dear Christine,
My boss keeps taking credit for my ideas. What should I do?

A) Absolutely foremost: Talk to your boss directly. This might seem obvious, but considering a large population of people are extremely conflict avoidant, this may be the last thing one attempts to do. (Click headline for more.)

Often, conflict avoiders believe the boss should “know” how they feel because they’ve indirectly hinted at it. Hinting won’t cut it. Directness leaves little room for guessing. If this works, great! It could potentially strengthen your professional relationship. If it fails you have several options:

Go over your boss’ head. But be careful of potential ramifications such as your boss’ hyper vigilance on your every move or appearing a whiner to management.
Look for another job. The best time to find a job is when you have a job.
Keep your ideas to yourself. Your boss may flounder in their absence.
Suck it up and pray your boss quits! Awareness of options can prove liberating.

My name is Steven Linda from Scotland, i want to testify about a great spell caster that help me cast a spell that bring my husband back to me without any delay. I broke up with him with just little misunderstanding hoping we will get back shortly,but things was growing worse until i contacted Dr.Manbela who help me with his historical powers to bring him back, i have never believed in a spell caster until i come across him, it will be of great sin if i should go out from here without dropping the contact of this great spell caster, in case you need the help of this great spell caster you can contact him through his email: once you contact him all your problems will be over ,once again i say very big thanks to you sir for helping me to recover my husband back, and please sir keep your good work because people need your help and in their lives ,once more thank you Dr Manbela

Have a good day.

Hi everybody. I recently saw a testimony about chief dr lucky in a blog I visit for relationship and dating counseling problems because i had been having serious issues with my boyfriend and we had been dating for six months, he just suddenly changed, he wasn't returning my calls,he started cheating,he was hurting me in many ways i never thought possible and I just thought I should try it*maybe out of desperation of some sort*..and I contacted chief dr lucky ..At first everything felt dreamy and unbelievable, his consultations and solution was a little bit easy and strange and I was scared a little cause I heard read and heard lots of stories to of fake spell casters,scams and i never really believed in magic..I played along with a little hope and and faith and I sent some few stuffs after everything and it worked like a miracle,everything went to a while new direction,it was and is amazing...I guess it was all good faith that made me read That particular post that faithful day..I hope he could help other people too like he did me...I did a little and I got everything I wanted and wished for*my husband,my family and my life back.
