Presentation used by colleague without consent
My workplace is a small architectural firm with lesser than 30 staff.
Last year August, we had organised an internal sharing session on lessons learned from our projects. It was a very personal sharing for me as I shared about my first project (project A) since joining the firm and I had shared about lessons that were personal and impactful to me. My manager even commented on my presentation slides and rehearsed with me prior the session.
Today we organised another sharing session and we had been requested to share about reviews on our projects.
My colleague who worked with me on project A was assigned to present about her review on it. We had worked closely in other projects as well but it had not been a good experience over the past 3 years due to unfair workload distribution. After reflecting my thoughts to my manager, they will be reassigned to other projects next month onwards.
When we were assigned the presentation yesterday they asked for my presentation slides prepared for the last presentation in August (our presentation materials are always accessible in office server for reference) and I had provided to them. Somehow knowing thier intention, I had provided my slides to see what they would do. Obviously they failed to prove me wrong and used my slides for presentation today without changing anything. They did not even bother to change the date nor asked if they could use it.
Should I be flagging this to my manager? Although i had presented last year, I don't think my manager remembers as they need to oversee many things.
Appreciate your kind advice.

intervewing for same role twice
1 year ago I interviewed for a company made it to the 4th last interview . I rescheduled the last interview 2x because I was sick but I had to suck it up and still go sick otherwise my opportunity would pass .
i ended up bombing it bc I was too sick and I could not reschedule for a third time
I applied for the same job again , do you think they will give me a second chance if I explain I was sick the first time ? I executed every interview before that

Ethnic minorities do wirk quite hard actually, and I think they are getting underestimated at times.
The statue of a slave owner was on the grounds of the first. I didn't think too much into it.

It is like 12 years that they are doing this. I was grad school, when my undergraduate boss had started to this. And after that my grad supervisors were doing this.
It is work done, that's why money is coming to it. It's a professional contract. Just misusing a psychological contract is not on. It's immoral.

Will AI Take Your Job?
Not so fast…
We’re hearing a lot of noise about AI taking over the workforce. But a recent study from MIT shows it’s not happening as fast or as broadly as we might think.
While some tasks can be automated, most aren’t cost-effective for companies to replace, yet. That gives you time to adapt, upskill, and stay ahead.
In my latest newsletter, I break down what this research means for you, how to protect your role from automation, and why human skills still matter more than ever.
? Read it here!
? Question for you: Do you feel prepared for AI’s impact on your industry?
✅ Yes, I’m adapting already
? I’m not sure where to start
? Honestly? A little nervous

My boss stepped down and I ended up crying because he was leaving .
He has been very kind and very accommodating. Do you think i may have acted unprofessional by crying?
My new manager isn't very happy with me. How can I best work with my new manager.
Thanks
