Imitation is the highest form of flattery -1.

Indeed it is, when the imitation is done by none other than your competitor or ex-partner or ex-boss who had labelled you as "...completely no new ideas..." during his dubious appraisal of your work performance!

Imitation the highest form of flattery -2:

When your 'regional' competitor follows and 'implements' your vision, mission statement and more!!

Some HR "antidotes" for some HR nuts...

• Have you ever being maliciously stabbed in the back by your colleague/subordinate especially with lies and half-truths?
  Do not get stressed out. Be patient, do not bother to hit back - sooner or later you will have the last laugh!

• Do you have a boss who has 'light' ears and who swallows and directly or indirectly encourages such malicious back-stabbing?
  He is a very pitiful and insecure boss indeed - lacking the most basic tenet of professionalism. Probably he got to where he is now through this route.

• Did your unappreciative or ungrateful boss or partner say "You got no ideas"?
  Say yes, you have plenty but they are just too good for him and let him agonise over what you are up to next.

• Did your boss just say the four -letter word - SACK - to you even when there is no basis for him to do so?
  Thank him! - he has just opened up a whole new world of opportunities for you!

• Did your ex-employer retain your hard-earned salaries without any justification?
  Then you can claim that you have contributed, not only with your hard work but financially too, towards your ex-employer's past and current success.
