The time B2 had a great idea about the website

So we were in one of our rare meeting where we learn about things that are either over due or have to be done with an unrealistic timeline.

Our website became a topic of conversation as it’s currently unmaintained. We had a web design company run diagnostics on it and it’s over 100 pages as every item is a separate page so it’s near impossible to update easily.

B2 mentioned how she’d found a website she loves – a major competitor in the USA – and how she’d like to take the design AND CONTENT and make it our website. She said she’d send me the link so I could start copying and pasting everything. I pointed out that stealing design and content is plagiarism and that I would not do that. I said if she really wanted, I would copy and paste it but that I would not help her make it to our website and after I sent it to her I wanted no part of it. She then got upset because everyone does it – everyone steals everyone else’s websites. I said no they don’t. The hilarious part is that she was so excited that she had come up with such a brilliant idea and layout for our website before I mentioned it would illegal!

Since then, I have been accused of conspiring against her. It turns out that I am also a huge disappointment, untrustworthy and generally a horrible employee.
