We feel for the employee in this situation, especially after her coworkers tried to make it seem like this was all her fault. Sure, maybe she should not have had this conversation in front of the client. However, did anyone else consider that maybe the presenter should not have taken credit for work that was simply not his?
The meeting would have gone swimmingly if he had not attempted to get away with that nonsense. Even if the author was able to control herself until after the meeting, there still would have been an enormous amount of tension that would make future collaborations with this guy difficult.
This is what happens when employees on the same team are not actually acting like they're on the same team. It's never worth trying to pass off someone else's work as your own because, clearly, that person is more knowledgeable and capable than you are if you find yourself in that position. Why make enemies with someone whose work is invaluable to the team?
