Businesses in the UK are absolutely rife with 'has been' middle managers, who are in their position through achievements that count for very little in the modern market, and who rely on old school methods of harassment, threats and bullying and thieving their charges ideas and initiatives to remain in their position and who continually reward girls they find attractive or guys who kiss arse who are both usually completely fucking shit at their jobs and spend most of their time clock watching and gassing.
There has for a very long time been the need for the introduction of stringent intellectual copyright laws in the UK to protect employees. It hasn't happened because 'business' thinks the existing system of being able to fleece employees ideas and initiatives for nothing then bin them off is more profitable for them, but that's a false economy, because I've seen numerous middle managers rip off an employees idea or initiative, try and pass it off as their own, bastardise it and it not reach anywhere near it's potential, so business actual loses out.
A middle manager did it to me, then orchestrated and 3 year campaign of sustained abuse to try and drive me out, it went to tribunal, they settled with me for 70k out of court. Then I fucked them
Admittedly I did fuck them by handing a rival company that were likely equally as bad a complete strategy and plan, the real plan for market domination that I'd only given the thieving manager the basics of, but the 3 years of abuse and 2 years of continuing abuse through the tribunal process made me too ill to work, so I didn't care.
What I did was contact the director of the rival company explaining my experience and asking if they had any vacancies, she replied with an email obviously fishing to try and get a freebie, like they all do, so I broke the whole thing down for her, knowing full well that once I'd sent that the proposed meeting and interview would never materialise. I'm very ethical, so I didn't disclose any details whatsoever about my former employers in what I sent her, just a very detailed plan of what worked, the strengths and weaknesses or all the other competitors in the genre and the reason that clients regularly moved from each provider to another and services and structure that the potential businesses were very receptive too. They implemented it all, and absolutely buried my former employer. It was most enjoyable, it was actually pretty funny too, because the director had written back to me to inform me that they already did the vast majority of everything in my plan, thing was, I knew they didn't, I knew their operation inside out, I knew what they offered, what they didn't, how they ran their sales journey, I knew all the competitors inside out, because I was excellent at extracting information from people with competitors, it's the only way to effectively develop your product, services and pricing to kick their asses. I kept tabs on their website for around 12 months afterwards and saw each time it was updated they were adding a part of the plan I'd given them
My former employees got away extremely lightly at 70k and no doubt thought they were laughing, but, they weren't laughing very fucking long, fucking me cost them millions per year
It's another strong reason for stringent intellectual copyright protection for employees, there are a fuck load of middle managers out there who will and regularly do 'kill the Golden goose'
