maybedefinately

Another one of my managers also saw what i did. I ran it past her first. They all know it is my work and being honest I just cant wait to get in and see my manager to find out how it landed in another persons lap rather than her giving me it back with a couple of her ideas! Im sure i will find out all my answers in the end but it is just reassuring knowing that other people would feel the same way that Im not just petty.

I am going to ask my manager tomorrow for feedback and let he know that I want it for my portfolio. If there is any name on the new document then I will also ask for recognition and my name added. There is no history with my manager although there is with the co worker, he wants his finger in every pie, is really unbearable to work with and has made life pretty tough for new starters to the point that they have left. I believe that by my manager giving MY work to the co worker to amend was a sure sign that im not valued. However until I speak to my manager then I dont really know. What I do know is that the co worker left a message in the work book to say he was working on an upto date one and when I confronted him he was sat at the computer using MY work to do this.

Good idea although I really don't think there will be a next time. Why bother when although I did not email it to my Manager I did leave her a note on her desk to ask what she thought! The manager knew it was mine.

Thank you Sun0408. Yes I will speak to my manager but im really worried what the answer to my questions will be.

Thank you OrNurrse03. Yes I will do what you have suggested. I dont know whether my manager has saw their version (which is mine albeit a couple of things i could easily have added) so should i copy their version and take my original into the managers office so I can show him how close the draft (mine) and the final version (co workers) is? I am really hoping that my manager has not just passed my version onto another person and asked them to complete it without acknowledging me or asking the co worker but to speak to me. I really dont want to appear as petty and causing trouble but by reading what I have in the work book, the co worker telling me that he was just changing a couple of things and now witnessing the final version I am really feeling quite undervalued and that any contributions I may make in the future will be treated the same way. I really dont know how I will react if I find my manager has passed my work to another worker for them to improve on it and not to bother asking me. By his reaction, when I found him on the computer with my work beside him, it was obvious that he wasn't a bit bothered by what he was doing so Im getting the feeling that he may have been authorized to do this by our manager. Really hoping that this is not the case

Thanks for your reply. Yes he knows what he has done but Im not sure whether my manager is aware or not. As I left it on his desk I went home as I had just worked nights. It was the next day returning to work that I noticed the message in the work book. When I asked one of my colleagues about this they informed me that there had been a meeting between the manager and the higher grades but what went on I and my colleague dont know. Another person said that the co worker (the one who changed my work) printed it off the computer, read it and said "some good points". So I dont know whether my manager has authorized them to print my work and change it? Either way I would have thought that the Manager would have asked the co worker to consult with me to make improvements? Can my manager pass my work onto someone else to do even if the final version is mine with a couple of alterations?

Hi im new and would like some work related advice please. My manager mentioned that we needed to update a rota for new staff who would be starting on the night shift. This would help new staff working nights not to miss anything important. While on nights i drew up a draft detailing everything that needed doing and in the morning left it on my managers desk. Next day I found that a co worker had printed off my work and put a message in the work book that he was updating the old version which was done by a member of staff who left 2 years ago and would be updating a newer version. I went to speak to him to let him know that I had already done one and found him sat at a computer with my work and was told by him that he was just changing a few things! His "new" version is now up in the staff information room and I have found that he has merely added one or two ideas that if given back to me I could easily have added but the majority of the work is mine. I just don't know why he couldn't have included me in the retyping considering I had put the majority of it together. I also wanted to use it for my portfolio and feel that my hard work has been for nothing. I feel he has taken my work, changed a few words, added a sentence or 2 and is now passing it off as his own. Advice would be appreciated.
