Show Notes

She built a 47-slide strategy deck. Her mentor presented it to a C-suite client under his name alone. When she found a file creation timestamp proving she'd started work 11 days before he claimed to have briefed her, she consulted a lawyer — who told her it was a professional norms problem, not a legal case. In consulting, the work-for-hire clause covers everything. This episode of Workplace Entanglement breaks down how mentor credit theft works — the fragmented briefings, the deniable conversations, and the timestamp that nobody was ever asked to read.
