You're scrolling through the team update and there it is — your work, your analysis, your late nights — presented under someone else's name. Your chest tightens. This was not an accident.
It happened once and you let it go. It won't happen again — but only if you build a system that makes your contributions visible before someone else can claim them.
The credit is sorted. The relationship isn't. You have to decide whether this person is someone who made a mistake or someone who showed you exactly who they are.
