You could express your frustration to your colleague by saying something like, "I notice that you've been taking credit for my work again. I'd appreciate it if you would recognize my efforts and not take credit for work that isn't yours." You could also point out specific times when your colleague has taken credit for your work so they can understand how and when this is happening. Additionally, it might be helpful to have a conversation about why taking credit for someone else's work is wrong and what kind of impact this is having on you, the team, and the organisation as a whole.

Expressing frustration to a colleague who is taking credit for your work can be challenging. The most diplomatic way is to kindly ask them to stop and explain why it’s important that you are credited for your work. You could say, "I appreciate all of your contributions, but I feel it's important that my name is associated with this project as well. I have put a lot of time and effort into my work and I would appreciate the recognition." You can also take steps such as talking directly with your supervisor or documenting evidence whenever necessary.
