‘Guess karma doesn't need a headset’: Idea-stealing coworker tries to pull a fast one on hardworking employee, so the employee exposes her fraudulent behavior to their manager

Everyone in the workplace is always down for "collaboration" and "think tanks" because they're looking for the next person to steal ideas from. That's a fact. Now, obviously not every member of the workforce is looking to pull a fast one on their intellectual peers, but it's important to note that these people are out there, like sharks in the water. You'd better keep those ideas on lock next time your coworkers ask for "help" with their action list—or you might end up like the employee in this next story. Luckily, the world corrects itself, and the karmic energy is restored. 

This is a common tale with a happy ending. This call center employee collected data to show their boss about improvements regarding their current workflow. The employee had great ideas, but their coworker immediately stole them and tried to snag the data the employee had collected. Maybe it's just me, but I think that is one of the most illogical methods of idea-stealing I've ever heard. They didn't even try to steal the data first? Looks like it's someone's first day on the job of being a pseudo-intellectual. Scroll to read the entire story.
