Ever feel like you're speaking into the void during a meeting, only to have someone else repeat your exact words and get a round of applause? This one's for you.
This video is a satirical take on a classic workplace phenomenon—the "idea thief." For this sketch, we flipped the script to highlight just how absurd it is when a great idea is ignored simply based on who says it. It’s a scenario I explore in-depth (with a healthy dose of sarcasm) in my book, "A Woman's Guide to Winning in Tech."
Whether you're navigating mansplaining, "hepeating," or just trying to finally get the credit you've earned, having a strategy is key. This video is a nod to anyone who's ever felt that priceless moment of shock and confusion when their contribution is overlooked.
