Being a young employee or a new one would give you a disadvantage of having to get a feel of your co-workers and the new environment. It would be hard sometimes to trust others and be confident enough to speak up if there’s an issue.

Higher-ups might hone in the fact that they’re older and had been in the company way less than you have. And they might take that advantage and run with it.

If you’re lucky, you’ll get in a company that values proper work ethics and isn’t scarce on friendly co-workers. If you aren’t, well you might end up needing this trick from Cristina Sevcenco whose Tiktok video went viral after a work incident.

A lot of people run into problems with their bosses, and oftentimes they couldn’t speak up since they are afraid of the threat of termination. There’s also the fact that they might be treated badly for the rest of their stay or have their concerns ignored.

So if you have the means to protect yourself without confronting them, it would be better right? Like, let’s say you put a watermark in presentations that you made so your boss couldn’t present it as her own without you knowing.

At 25 years old, Cristina Sevcenco landed work in the marketing industry and is a regular user of TikTok to share stories and POVs

In one work incident, she had to create a presentation with a lot of research and effort

She could’ve stood up or confronted the boss, but she had experienced toxic work environments beforehand and found another way to deal with the situation

When a lot of people responded to the video of the story, they asked her for a tutorial

She started by recounting the story first

Then included a disclaimer for those who are having trouble with their own bosses

She went on with the video how your watermark would be seen if they do anything to edit the powerpoint presentation

Here’s a sample of how she was making it

Which ones to select and how to proceed

The words designed by plus your name will be included so naturally if they need to edit something, they’ll reach back to whoever name it was on the watermark

She was showing her how it would appear

It’s unfortunate that those who asked for a tutorial might be in the same situation as she was that’s why they asked her

But it can be done in more ways than one like in word or excel

Regardless, Cristina is just glad to share it to those who need it

Here's the full video

Spell it out in big letters

This one makes sure no one but you can choose to share them

A tip to bring it to the next level

OP's way is just one of the ways she can prevent plaigarism

And they would resort to other means of standing up to the boss

OP is making it more accesible for those who don't know it yet

This person made the switch after experiencing bad corporate environment

Some comforting words from one of the people who commented

This is an opinion that is different from OP

Cristina Sevcenco has had misfortunes of experiencing toxicity in the places she’s worked with and knows what it feels like to have that as a fresh college graduate. It’s a stage in life where they can make you feel like you’re lucky if they hire you since most companies are going to look for those with experience already.

Hence, adds to the fact that it would take a while to find your voice. This method that Cristina had introduced is a good way to make sure that they know that you can handle incidents relatable to OP and would hopefully not underestimate you.
