And some encouraging news.......

You may have heard about the recent arrests when some Coca Cola employees tried selling trade secrets to Pepsi. Why is this encouraging? Because Pepsi didn't bite on the offer - rather they immediately contacted Coca Cola who in turn contacted the FBI. With their help, a sting operation was put in place to arrest the three involved in the plot.

As a Pepsi spokesperson said: “We just did what any responsible company would do. Competition can be fierce, but it also needs to be fair.”

In a related story that puts a damper on the story yet is also worth reading, experts say that corporate theft is actually quite common. Who are these theives? Typically those who work for well-paid executives who usually believe they are unappreciated.
