How to ensure credit for your work
OK, I've designed a number of websites for my current employer, and put my name in the meta tags.
If at some point I leave this company, I'm told they are unlikely to give references, so these sites are the only evidence I will have of my work here.
Is there any steps I can take to stop them changing the meta tags in that case?

No, as a work for hire, they own the content, and can do with it as they please after you leave.SpiderMonkey wrote:Is there any steps I can take to stop them changing the meta tags in that case?
However, your goal isn't to prevent the change. Its to validate your employment and activity on those pages.
Thats what The Wayback Machine exists for.
It still has partial copies of my old homepage, way back from 2002! (Yes, it used frames. I've grown, haven't I?)
