This employee was fine and dandy working for his old boss Steve, but when the company was sold to a less-than-worthy 3rd party, things kinda went to crap.

But even so, OP made a point to do good work, and none of their clients even knew about this Kyle guy, so things just sort of kept rolling. That was until they hit a breaking point.

But in the end, as if written by Tolkien, the true owner of the business emerged. A champion of client services.

This employee took things into his own hands and launched a full scale assault to pick up all those clients with a totally new business. Kyle didn't even know what hit him, and the guy just had to back off and concede that he'd been beaten.

Under most circumstances, stealing your employer's clients would probably result in a giant lawsuit, but they didn't go there and OP skated by like a goddamn champion.
