Yesterday was a particularly BAD DAY.

I was full of the worst kind of feelings towards people in my life that are treating me poorly and mainly at work.

I couldn't believe when my colleague took over my presentation in a client meeting, she spoke FOR ME, and started presenting MY 10-page strategy document to the client, using the words, "WE are recommending these strategies".. when I worked for two weeks to pull all the research, data and strategy plan together, NOT HER.

I couldn't freaking believe it!!!

I was SO angry at her, I was literally physically shaking in my chair as I watched her speak FOR ME.

She didn't even introduce me to the client. She just started talking about my strategies, as though they were her own to present and discuss.

I truly hope she gets fired.

I went to HR this time. Hell yes I did. That is entirely unacceptable and HR is going to know about it.

I am beside myself.

Today we have another client meeting (same client, more people).

I told her yesterday, "do NOT speak to MY work. I will talk about MY document, MY work and MY strategies myself". Yes, I confronted HER directly as well, and I also spoke about it with our account manager, who was also present and in the meeting and who is supposed to introduce me to the client.

I am all for being a part of a team and team effort, etc but this is different.

I am taking over the strategy from her because it's not doing well. I was told to improve our strategies.

It is coming off her plate now and I am now in charge.

I would never criticize HER work, or make it seem like her strategies were bad in front of our client.

I was planning on bridging the gap so that she wouldn't look bad. And what does she do instead? She tries to take credit for my work!

ARGH!!!!!!
