A new guy started to work with my other half in january. He looked like a nice guy, acccording to my other half. He taught him only the basics and left him to do his work. This morning, the commen idiot, gave all my hub's ideas and work sheets to his boss. And according to him it was his own ideas and worksheets. I have never seen this one so angry. I told him to open his mouth and tell the little toadie to tell the truth, but no way. He just left it. One years ideas, planning and worksheets, down the damn drain. What will you do if someone NEW, do that to you????

He needs to speak with the boss not the new guy.
The new guy has too much to lose by owning up to it.
You other half needs to go to the boss and say 'look this guy has just presented all my ideas and plans to you as though they are his'.
Then leave it to the boss to decide what to do about it.
He should have a way of proving it if at all possible and be willing to volunteer to do so.
Look at it this way, if they are your husbands ideas, he will be able to answer anything about them down to the smallest detail while this other guy is a charlatan and will not be able to fill in the gaps convincingly
but if your other half doesn't own up, this new man may worm his way in further and spoil things further down the line for your man rather than get exposed .
That is what I would do if it were me anyway.
Don't let him be put off by it being the boss, he is only another man after all.

I agree he should take it to the boss so that the boss can make it right and make sure things are taken care of. I would have your other half take any thing that can show that it was his ideas etc. that way the boss can see proof that it is his and not that he is just saying it is you know? I would also advise your other half that he should be careful about doing that and only giving someone ideas on how to get to that point not the actual work you know what I mean?

The boss may be already realizes this guy is bluffing. At the end of the day,if he wants his tooth pulled he goes to the dentist,if he wants his car mended he goes to the mechanic, if he wants his work done, he looks to the experienced man and not the newbie.
Hope it all gets sorted out anyway.

I would be saying something because that is just wrong. I hate when people try to take you ideas and work. I have had this happen with graphics etc. I have copyrights on all my work now days and make sure that I have documents show I made it and all this so no one can say they did it. What kind of work is hubby into?
Try it on BB, i am sure he won,t mind.

Hi Saphrina!! I agree that man did really wrong with your husband as it was hard work of your husband which he shown to boss. It was a clear cheating but how long he can get success by this way... God is looking at everyone..He will be suitably punished by one or the other way...
No doubt your husband is a nice man that he help him when he needed and trained him for future...but we can't trust anyone in this world...He had done a great job teaching him but bad was the person who cheated him and stolen his work and shown to boss...
Your husband should talk to boss that what he has shown is his work not done by that man. May be he will not believe at first but in future when he will go in details all things will be clear... as he has done that in real and he will get its credit one day... How long that guy can cheat him...Your husband has a learned a lesson from it and he should be more careful in future...Try to use "better half" rather than "other half" as he is really nice man who love to help other....i am sure he will keep you happy forever...have a happy life...

What a hell he's been doing! If that happens to me? I'll hate him so long as we are office mates. I don't think I'll still be good to him. He will see what is best for him. But, instead of planning bad things for him, I would rather lift them up to God. He knows better what's best for this evil act he did.
