How do you respond when someone steals your idea?
Stop, Drop, and Don’t React nothing. Emotions can run high when it comes to attribution, so don’t let your anger get away with you (or stymie a chance for real resolution). The best thing you can do is take a pause and give your emotions and your mind a bit of time to cool off before acting.

How do you deal with a bossy coworker at work?
Is there’s someone else that seems to handle this bossy coworker well, ask them for some advice. Go to the actual boss. Ask the person who’s actually in charge for clarification on roles and responsibilities. Tell them “Larry doled out the assignments. Is this what you expected?” and see what the reaction may be.
What should you do when someone stole your idea at work?
Keep your sour grapes to yourself and move on to doing what you do best. If you had an idea that was valuable enough for a colleague to pocket, then you are obviously doing something right. Others will take notice of your calm reaction. If it is clear that the idea was stolen, give the person the benefit of doubt and move on.
How do I deal with a weird co-worker who doesn’t like me?
Rather than dwelling on the sudden weird behavior of your co-worker, take advantage of the many events sponsored by your library, church and clubs. Sing in a choir. Take yoga or Zumba dancing. I know that these suggestions are more than you expected or want, but I hope they help you obsess less on not being liked by Gloria.
How do you know if a coworker is a bully?
They critique your work. They delegate responsibility. They talk over you in meetings. They’re the coworker who acts like your boss—and they’re far too common in today’s workplace. Some mean well and genuinely want to move projects forward. Others are downright bullies.
