Certain individuals believe they can get away with anything. Sadly, many people actually do.

We have all probably heard different stories about managers or others in authority using their position to steal an idea from a junior employee and present it as their own. They frequently get away with it because the juniors decide not to get back at them.

Or, even if they do, no one will want to listen to them, probably because they've not been in the company for long. Thank goodness that is not the case with today's story.

It is always satisfying to see people receive their just rewards, and a lot worse was due to this individual. One of the worst things you can do at work is to steal someone's idea.

However, a particular man named "Bob" went ahead and stole the OP's brilliant idea. I'm not sure what was going through his mind, but little did he know that his actions would land him exactly where he was avoiding.

Finally, things started to become clear. After all, nothing is ever truly hidden.

You may scroll down and see how the whole story turned out and how everything worked in the OP's favor.
