Took credit for my project in the all-hands, used the word "we", meant "me watching him"

CapgeminiSix weeks of my work, presented in the first person, while I sat in the audience clapping like a hostage. Documented everything after that. Paper trails are self-defense.

Got asked "why are you leaving your current role" in an interview for a job that is a layoff backfill
