Post your creditkhor stories (where someone else took credit for your work)- Grapevine

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I recently replied to a post about referrals and received a lot of resumes for referrals

While going through one of the resume I noted a portfolio site, it looked pretty impressive from a UI/UX/Design point of view

Designing a minimal yet engaging site is not easy, I was revisiting the site to take notes and was messing around with different features, and I used the search feature which TOOK ME TO THE ORIGINAL PERSON’S WEBSITE

The person ripped off someone’s work and didn’t even bother updating some of the links

I value integrity, I’ve been designing my portfolio from scratch from a while now, I respect people for their work. This is infuriating to me, to some it might sound like an overreaction ( maybe it is ) but to me theft of work is one of the lowest act a person can do

Now that the rant is over, I’ll add objectively why this is bad for everyone ( yes all the parties involved here )

1. You ( the thief ): Due to the buggy nature of the page, anyone visiting and using features would be redirected to the original person’s site. Assuming you have this site to show off your profile, this will invalidate everything on your resume, if you lied here what else are you lying about?

2. Original person: The original person is really talented and probably won’t hurt a lot opportunities for them. But knowing this might hurt their peace of mind

3. Recruiters: The talent pool in India is huge, but good quality talent pool percentage is relatively small. If someone poses as a talented individual using a stolen portfolio it makes their job harder.

4. People looking for jobs: Having people lie about their skills won’t make your life easier. If there’s mistrust, it is harder for you to show off your skill. You’ll need to work twice as hard to prove your talents

5. Indians as a community: Racism towards Indian based on their integrity is prevalent online and IRL. This does not help it at all.

[RANT] Stop stealing others work

How do you deal with someone else taking credit for your ideas in front of leadership? Asking for a friend.

Some more context.
My friend, female, discussed some ideas on a project with the person in question, male. He's a new joinee with impressive pedigree. He went and presented those ideas as his own to a key leader. The leader was impressed. My friend wasn't able to get a word in, even though she's been around for much longer at the company.
How would you deal with this?

I applied for a standard charted credit card via a phone call agent. (sir you are eligible for a card call wale). I wanted a platinum LTF card but she said after submitting the details I am eligible for another card with fixed yearly charges of 350. She told me she would pay me 350 after I received the card. She called back-to-back during office hours. So I blocked her. In the last two days, she has called me from 7 different numbers, at least 20-25 times. Finally, I picked up her call, and she told me that she would have to pay 3000 rupees fine If I won't process my card. She will G-pay me 350. 


Should I do the v-KYC?

Credit Card Drama

Software Engineer

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I'm working as an APM at a startup for about a year now. I work with another guy who happens to be my senior, PM and both of us report to the director.

Of late, my senior, i.e., the PM has been undermining my work when the two of us are working together, subtly taunting me that what I've done is pretty easy and non impactful business wise. He also disregards the decisions made by me, modifies the PRDs discovered and written by me and mails them as his own.

Eventually, he ends up adding me to the walkthrough calls because I had discovered the features but then concludes everything such that he had owned everything end to end.

Recently, both of us were given a documentation to be done by our manager, i.e., the director. I had completed almost 70% of that document, but in our call with the director he presented it saying that he had written that document and I had made a few changes to it.

This undermines my work and visibility of my capabilities. I don't know how to tackle this situation, my manager is usually busy and leaves it upto this PM to allocate work, which he unfairly uses.

How do I talk to my manager about this. I'm fairly new to corporate, just graduated last year and don't know how to handle all this.

But this thing has been bothering me lately, really looking forward to any advise my fellow grapeviners may have.

You definitely need to talk to the director and share your concerns . Possibly separate out projects and independently handle them.

I work with someone who constantly takes my ideas and shares them as their own. For example, if I mention an idea in a group meeting, this person then comes and repeats the same idea in other meetings to different people as if it was their own. 

This happens very often so it's not a coincidence. This person is not qualified for the job they were hired for and constantly piggy backs off my work and ideas and appropriates them as their own. I'm really not sure how to address this without coming off as petty. This has been going on for almost a year now and I'm really sick of it. Any suggestions or advice?

My colleague stole my idea and presented it as their own 🤮

I did not pick her 50+ calls from various numbers. Now this. Same line again and again that fine lg rha hai.

Hey folks,
Can you please share the methods and [] while writing self performance reviews?

As starter, I'm sharing couple of pointers I follow:
1. Gather supporting evidences for reviews you write. Don't wait till last minute, because you'll definitely forget what you did last whole year.
2. Don't try to take credit of someone else's work. Even if you contributed a lot on the project/feature, don't write it in a manner that tells you single handedly developed it. Try to mention yourself as part of team, and the achievement as an effort by whole team.

Share your tips below👇, will help everyone in the community.

GPay convenience fee for recharge

Hey,

I just did a jio prepaid recharge of 749 on GPay and was charged 3 rupees convenience fee. I did not know that GPay charges convenience fee, So I just wanted to let everyone know.

GPay convenience fee for recharge

I have done some testing and it looks like the convenience fees are like this:

For recharge amounts of 1 to 100, there is no convenience fee, 

For recharge of 101 to 200 it's 1 rupee convenience fee, 

For 201 to 300 it's 2 rupees,

and for 301 and above, the maximum convenience fee is 3 rupees.

Another self help guru turns out to be a fraud

How do you deal with people who don't work/ contribute, but will try to take credits, will do bootlicking of manager?

I was in Mumbai this weekend and I was having street food in Ghatkopar. I heard someone whispering but ignored. When I turned around I saw three people, 2 guys and 1 girl. I continued enjoying my food when I saw that the girl behind me had left and dropped some money. I walked up to her and told her about it.

I bent down to pick it up when the other two guys bumped into me. I think they were cloning my card all this while, I will explain why I think that. I asked them if something was wrong and they said No and went away. 

I checked today morning and 16,731 were deducted at some weird merchant in USA. I was confused, so I instantly blocked all my cards. I have contacted the bank about this fraud as well. 

I am confused: I did not do any transaction on any website that looked shady nor did I give my details out to anyone. The only thing that explains this is that they cloned my credit card and this was their strategy. How to comfirm this? Please help.

If you're gonna post a fake story atleast spend some time to make up your own version.

Another day, another so-called influencers

It could be telling your manager off or something spicier. A moment you can't believe you got away with in a work environment.
