‘Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me’: After blaming an inexperienced design engineer, sales rep gets hit with karma and loses his job

The business environment is competitive. Individuals often prioritize their own advancement over the well-being of those around them when climbing the corporate ladder. They are dedicated to achieving their objective and will do whatever it takes to get there. That being said, how would you react if you found out that someone on your crew attempted to sabotage you in order to protect themselves?

The story that follows is that of an inexperienced design engineer who is picking up the rules of the corporate game. The Original Poster (OP) provides a first-hand account of his experiences working in the world of business. Developing a strong reference list is not nearly as important as understanding the unwritten rules of the business game. As soon as OP began to realize that something had been stolen out of one of the client cases he had been assigned to, he made sure to keep at least two copies of work orders to ensure he had proof of all that had been happening.

That being said, be sure to read the story below if you're interested in learning more about what transpired and whether or not OP needed to utilize an additional document containing work orders to save his reputation in the industry. Additionally, after you're done, don't forget to read the account of the employee who settles score with the CEO who demands workers follow alarm protocol, leading to an amusing car chase with the authorities!
