Misunderstood Villian- I stand with Will
Hey Ladies,
I'm shaking mad right now. My boss took my proposals for her own and completely tricked me.
Back story: My boss is a Jewish woman. She hired me and also promoted me all within a year. She left my original team and took me with her (the promotion) cause she loves my work ethic and my work background. (So she said)
This lady took 2-3 weeks off to go get married. In that time our team had to come up ul with a program plan to present to the department head.
Before she left she kept going on and on about how I would do the work and get credit, that she's setting me up to take her job when she leaves in the fall. Included me in the upper management meetings etc.
So in the 2 weeks I bust my ass getting the proposal together. Trying to include everything everyone wanted researched numbers the whole 9. Even her boss (one of her besties, afro dominican) was like shes so grateful, I did so much work.
Now she came back and edited my proposal to 1 pagers and included some minor things she knew the depth head wanted to see. Cool.
The first time we presented she completely left me out or gave me a small part to present. At the time I was like whatever cause the person we presented to wasn't the person approving. This was a Friday
She calls me on Monday and says "I want to apologize for taking over the presentation. **** thought I did the work and I'm sorry it came off like that. That shouldn't have happened" I'm like ok wierd. Now Tuesday we present to the assistant dept head and she does the SAME THING except she completely shut me out and this was a conference call so you can't even see me. I'm not sure if she even introduced me cause I came in a couple mins late.
It was so bad the fist person we presented to (male) had to jump in at the end and say " I just want to thank CCG she did come up with a some of the ideas" then the white women started "yeeessss, thank youuuu. You diiiddd" blah blah blah.
This lady was gonna let the meeting end with ppl thinking I did nothing or she did most. We hang up and she calls me 2 seconds apologizing like crazy. Saying she wasn't prepared and didn't know they were gonna ask her to preent she got carried away and did the whole thing.
Since then I've been very short with her. Doing the bare minimum. She asks my opion and I just say sounds good. Before then we were really close.
Guys I'm telling you I cam up with the contacts, connections. Numbers and plans I even did the plan with NO BUDGET in mind or very little. The whole time she was prepping me to do the plan she used languge like "this is your work, you own this" Came back and praised my work as well.
Question: what should be my next steps? Shes going away again and is putting me in charge of the planning, organizing etc basically taking over her job and I cant even look at the b!tch. I don't even believe her ass is leaving. I have a feeling she's gonna come back and take all the credit again. But at the same time I do have to do my job and her boss (director of our unit) is expecting me to take over again. I just don't want to be that black person that gets played does all the work and gets overlooked for promotions. I started looking for other work but this job is stable and has amazing benefits. Not sure what to do here without loosing my standing but getting credit.
Yes everyone was shared on my rough draft emails but you know they don't read sh!t.
TlDR: My boss asked me to create a program plan while she was gone convincing me it would help me get her position when she left. Came back and preented all my ideas without any shootouts or recognition.
