Is it possible for an employee to sabotage a business competitor?

[Starmix]

The answer is yes. An employee can sabotage a business by working with a competitor. This sabotage can happen if there is bribery on the part of the employee promised by the competitor. The employee may disclose the proprietary formulas, processes, or technologies. Revealing pricing strategies and allowing the competitor to undercut prices. That employee could also share upcoming campaigns or product launches of her employer. She could leak information about future business direction and initiatives.

Another, the employee could spread false information about the company to clients or partners. Tis employee could have been promised a better position of job in the competition, and it is assured that she was bribed to do so with a huge amount of money to comply with the sabotage.

This unethical and unprofessional conduct of an employee can lead her to severe punishment by the court once she is found guilty of sabotaging her employer’s competitor.

It also happened in a multi-national company, the Coca-Cola Bottlers Philippines, Incorporated. One employee negotiated with Pepsi Cola Bottling Company to sell them the formula used by Coca-Cola Company; however, that employee did not know that the manager of Pepsi Cola was a friend of the manager of Coke, so that employee was kicked out and jailed.

You can imagine, these days it's hard to find people you can fully trust any longer. Everyone is just after what they can gain alone.

Indeed, it is crucial to give our 100 % trust to anyone. It is hard if we are trapped by their disguises. The main reason is no other, money.
