Understanding “Taking Ours Work and Calling It Theirs” as Plagiarism
When you take someone else’s work — whether it’s your own or another person’s — and present it as your own without proper credit, you are engaging in plagiarism. This includes taking credit for others’ ideas, words, or even the work of your own team membersusingsources.fas.harvard.edu+1.

What Counts as Plagiarism

Plagiarism is the act of using another person’s work or ideas without giving them proper credit GeeksForGeeks+1. It can be:
  • Verbatim copying of text, images, or other media without quotation marks or citation.
  • Paraphrasing someone else’s ideas without attribution.
  • Reusing your own past work without stating it’s a repeat.
  • Taking credit for a team’s work as if it were your own CareerAddict.
Even if you change the wording or format, if the idea or expression is not yours, you must cite the source Scribbr.

Why It’s Wrong

Plagiarism is a breach of intellectual property and academic or professional integrity. It:
  • Undermines the original creator’s work and reputation.
  • Fails to give due credit to contributors.
  • Can damage trust with employers, clients, or academic institutions CareerAddict+1.

Consequences

In academic settings, plagiarism can lead to failing grades, probation, or expulsion Enlightio. In the workplace, it can result in:
  • Loss of trust and credibility.
  • Disciplinary action or termination.
  • Legal action if copyrighted material is involved CareerAddict.

How to Avoid It

  • Always cite sources you use, even if they seem obvious.
  • Give credit to team members when presenting their work.
  • Use your own words and ideas, or paraphrase with proper attribution.
  • Keep detailed notes on where you get your information.
In short, “taking ours work and calling it theirs” is plagiarism — whether it’s your own or someone else’s — and it’s important to give proper credit to maintain integrity and avoid serious consequences.

I wouldn't call taking your own work as plagiarism.
Maybe the new rule should be to provide a source every time.
