BP #2 - Taking advantage of someone


1.

I was 22 years old and I was working in a big advertising agency in my country. I was working as a copy writer, and I was just getting to know the business and my co-workers. My job was about writing radio and TV scripts for brands. One day I realized that the agency won a small creativity mention and when I checked out what ad was the winner I realized  that the ad was written by me. When I asked who got the credit for this ad, I was told one of my co-workers had taken all the credit. He was the art director of my department and decided that I didn't deserve any recognition for my efforts. I felt really used and disappointed. So I confronted my art director and he told me that I was too young to receive recognition. 
I felt this was really unfair, but it taught me a lot about the business.

I think HeLa's family probably feel this is very unfair and cruel. 
They must feel cheated and powerless against such big organizations.
