Watching a coworker steal your work right in front of you can leave you with your jaw on the floor. Sometimes your boss may take credit for your work, which is irritating, but since they’re your boss, you might just have to roll with it. But when it’s your coworker, that can be quite frustrating. After spending days making a PowerPoint presentation (or “slide deck” as the professionals call it these days) you want all the credit where it’s due!
Sadly, there are plenty of reasons why you might not be able to call your coworker out on their thievery, though. For example, maybe it’s technically a group project, and they put in just 2% of the effort. Or maybe you want the boss to know you’re a team player, so you bite your tongue instead of tattling. At least this person got some excellently planned petty revenge on their coworker — and the CEO was the first to see their plan in action! In the comments, other people shared their own stories of the ways they’ve gotten back at their thieving coworkers. Never give up, there’s always a way to plot the pettiest revenge possible!
