You discover a colleague is taking credit for your work. What’s the most professional judgement?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
1) Publicly shame them
Not professional. It creates conflict and damages workplace respect.
2) Quit your job
Too extreme and does not solve the problem.
3) Speak to your manager with evidence
