Stop being a simp.
She’s lying and stealing, but putting on a friendly face so she can get away with it, and it’s working.
If some ugly but friendly guy did this, what would your reaction be? Go to management? Confront him? Of course you would. Why is she any different? You don’t want someone like this as a friend or coworker, let alone a life partner. So why the crap are you simping over her?
You quite literally gain nothing by ignoring this, and it could actually cost you a promotion, too. -
@Demolishun, 👍🏽 yes I should first ask her in private y she did what she did without just letting it slip by this time...

@Root dmn YES, I kinda needed that reality check THANK YOU! you are correct, I just let it slip first time thinking we go our separate ways but now it's different, I will confront her this time. 💪🏽and depending on her reaction I will decide whether to recommend or not without feeling guilty on shit that I shouldn't feel guilty about in the first place.

She stole the credit for your project. IN WRITING. She used you as a reference without your knowledge or consent. Is your name MAT? Fuck no, do NOT put a good word in for her! She will fuck you over within the first week if she gets hired! Not only that, but you'll be protecting your coworkers from her. Think about that.

@AtuM she's not much of a coder she doesn't like coding and now trying for consultant positions...
I didn't necessarily get any help/advice from her for the project. I believe it's good to first casually being this up and see, it will be fair for her also to give her a chance to explain if she doesn't take it well I may not recommend her.
Ok here's the story,
There is this girl older than me by 5-7years and I worked with her for 2 years in the past...
She's fun to be around, and lights the mood in the workplace...
However one day I found her CV in my machine so I went through it. (It's no crime and it was there in my machine idk y)
And as I went through the list of projects, I was surprised and taken back to see she listed one of my solo project which I managed and developed from scratch as if she contributed to it. 🤯
The management specifically handed me the whole project and I singlehandedly carried it out and finished it and that was one of the projects I was super proud of and elaborated in my interviews.😎
But since she was sitting beside me and she knew basic requirement and the solutions I developed she had the knowledge on the project.
I was bewildered to see she has mentioned that project in her CV which she had zero contribution. I didn't feel like confronting her thinking when someone asks full details on the projects she would have to lie in the interviews cz she wouldn't know much details on it. And hey not everyone has my ethics and lets see how far she goes with hers.(may be this was stupid but I just thought hey we go our own ways lets see how far you go with lies and I forgot about it completly)
But now she's trying to apply to my current workplace where I dreamed of joining and finally succeeded and happy, here they value trustworthyness and quality work ethics above anything else... and without even telling me she has added me as a reference person to get more points to get an internal recommendation.
I certainly don't want to put a good word on her work ethics. Her team spirit and everything is fine but I just CANNOT with correct conscience ignore her bad ethics and recommend her.
What should I do? I don't want to loose her as a friend but I will not and do not want to recommend her to any place knowing she cannot be trusted with work related stuff. I know if I just tell the truth to the company when they ask she will definitely will not be chosen and I might feel guilty knowing I stopped it from happening.... but I don't want to recommend her truly knowing her bad qualities which in my openion cannot be overlooked also.
Should I just overlook it and help, or should I just tell the truth to the company... errgggh
