Conversely, I don’t believe you need to draw attention to the fact either.
What's the best way to deal with a coworker who steals credit for your work and ideas?
Written by Rae StonehouseI suppose it depends on whether it affects you in any way. If it does, then actions may be warranted. If it doesn’t affect you directly, perhaps affecting a fellow team member, you’ll need to decide whether it’s any of your business to intervene on the other’s behalf. It may be more appropriate to support your fellow team member if they want to move forward in addressing the issue, rather than taking it on yourself.
Question: Is it correct work ethics for your manager to come beside you at work and start yelling “quick, faster, no time, hurry, ran and stop it let me do it go do something else or if you have nothing to do go away or outside”?
I don’t think ethics come into play in the situation you are describing.

Written by Rae StonehouseHow can I deal with difficult colleagues at work?
Question originally answered on Quora.com.
As an intern, is it okay if I ask a manager in another department to allow me to learn and give me a task to do?

Question originally answered on Quora.com.
Is it wrong that I value my time during off work more than my time during working hours?
Written by Rae StonehouseThe concept of ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ is subjective at best.
There are people who absolutely love their career and the work that they do. Some will even say that they would work for free if they had to … but they are grateful for the paycheck.
Not all of us are as fortunate as that. Some of us have to work in jobs that ‘puts food on the table’ and ‘pays the bills’ but does not provide job satisfaction.
Then again, there are likely many people that aren’t happy with their time away from work either. They are just not happy people.
