In the scenario where a new employee has been doing their job well and the other employees want to acknowledge or commend them, the phrases you provided are grammatically correct but might sound a bit awkward or formal in casual workplace conversation. Here's a breakdown:
1. "You get my credit" / "You got my credit" / "You have gotten my credit"
- These sound unnatural and aren’t typically used to express approval or recognition in English.
- "Credit" in this sense can be confusing because it might be unclear whether you mean acknowledgment or financial credit.
2. "You have my credit" / "You had my credit" / "You have had my credit"
- These sound formal and might be confusing. "Credit" could be misinterpreted unless you're specifically talking about recognition. But even then, it’s not a common way to praise someone.
Better Alternatives for Casual Praise:
Here are some more natural and encouraging ways to express recognition in this context:
- "You've earned our respect."
- "You're doing a great job, keep it up!"
- "Everyone was unsure at first, but you’ve really proven yourself."
- "We all trust you now; you've shown us you’re capable."
- "You’ve really impressed us with your hard work."
- "You’ve earned the team's confidence."
- "You’ve been doing great—keep up the good work."
These expressions are more natural in a workplace setting and clearly convey that the employee has gained the team's trust and respect through their consistent performance.
