The excerpt is a spoken monologue in which a single speaker (labelled SPEAKER A) recounts a story about placing an employee on paid leave for a sick family member who then allegedly took company leads, worked for another company, and started her own business while still employed. The speaker describes the betrayal, mentions ex-employees and friends weighing in, and offers the takeaway: rather than trying to "destroy" the person, it's better to move on and focus attention on running the business.

Chapters

We put her on leave because her family member was sick and we said, hey, we'll put you on paid leave. Like, go take care of your family. We love you. We got you, right? During that time, she was actually taking all of our leads. She had a VA in our channel taking all of our leads, right? Yeah. She started working at that company while she was still with me, took on a COO job, right? And then started doing the same thing at his company too. The only thing is, and then you can see in the channel that a couple of ex-employees were actually there. Oh, so the same girl was taking clients from both of you at the same time. That's So screwed up. And then taking paychecks from both of you and creating her own company with all the leads. And let me give a one lesson for everyone in this. So yes, that happened, but you might be thinking, okay, destroy this person. And that's well, that's a human, I think, reaction. But the right move is actually move on. Move on, like, you know, and just get on with your business. 'Cause running your business is already hard enough. Some of my friends were like, no, you have to, you must absolutely destroy her. I was like, no. But then that would, like 50% of my attention going to that means 50% less on my business.
