Male employee hijacks female coworker's presentation in front of clients despite her doing all the work: 'I almost laughed but didn’t'

Have you ever been talked over in a work setting?

It might happen more than you're comfortable with. If you're working with others, you've probably learned to negotiate tough situations. You know that everyone's personality is different and therefore everyone's working style is different. Some people are more talkative than others, so you have to work to get a word in edgewise. Other people need to be prompted to add their fair share to a presentation or project. It's helpful to learn how to deal with all types. You never know what you're going to encounter on a job, and it's helpful to know how to manage multiple kinds of people. But you also never want to sign yourself up for disrespect. You don't have to sit there and take it just because someone is working with you. This could lead to all sorts of clashes, ones that you would be right to try to avoid.

Was I in the wrong for not jumping in when my coworker hijacked my presentation and messed it up?

As a woman in the workplace, you might be used to all sorts of microaggressions. By nature, they're not big things that make you upset. It's small things that add up over the course of time, coming together to create a picture of inequity. It's good to call it out when it arises, or else the needle may never move in the right direction. But it can also be exhausting to have to be the one to notice what's going on. Maybe you wish your coworkers and managers would see it when it was happening and stop it in its tracks. That's what this employee tried to do on the spot when her coworker started talking over her. They were in front of clients, which made it a high-pressure situation, and everyone was trying to look good. But one employee's fight to be recognized had an inverse effect. Sometimes when people are crossing you, you just need to let them do their thing, and fate will take care of the rest. That's what happened here. Keep reading for all the details and see what you think about it.
