We do have processes AND policy in place to make sure this doesn't happen. But it can still happen unintentionally and when it does, we react activity and proactively.
- drewblaisdell 14y agoThis was not unintentional, though. The writer clearly took a screenshot of someone else's work and made no effort to even credit work that should not have been used in the first place.
- jacquesm 14y ago> we react activity and proactively. That does not parse but I think you're confusing aggressively with actively and proactively with defensively. All at once. And you look pretty silly in the process. Just apologize to the guy, make sure you'll never do it again. As long as you keep spinning this will make you look worse and worse. It's obvious that you don't have a process in place because then this would not happen. This was not unintentional, there is 0 chance of that. Nobody copies a chunk of text like that unintentional, nobody behaves like you did in this thread and elsewhere unintentional. The cover-up is worse than the crime, if you had been a responsible adult about this in the first place it would have gone away long ago. It was dumb. Only you can stop it.
- famousactress 14y agoDon't be ridiculous, this wasn't "unintentional". Additionally, it's impossible to react proactively.
- josephcooney 14y agoExcellent point re: reacting proactive-ly. At some point you've taken so many action items on-board, uplifted so much capability and re-purposed to much content that all the corporate buzz-words just start making perfect sense.
- mnicole 14y agoBy telling the original authors you'll be sure to 'steer clear' of them in the future for being upset that they weren't credited until it made you look like an ass? Yikes.
- csomar 14y agoIt's clear that you react to it (reading through the CEO comments)
- logjam 14y agoQuit using manager-bullshit-speak. Here, let me write your entire "processes AND policy" manual for plagiarism: 1) Don't do it; 2) If it occurs, fire the guy who did it; 3) Apologize and try to make it right; 4) Shut up. You seem to find each one of those steps challenging.

- dkersten 14y agoAnd spam the guys twitter saying he is overreacting and that its ridiculous that hes getting the slightest bit annoyed at the fact that you ripped his work off? Wow.. Just WOW.
- icodeforlove 14y agotalk about a great way to ruin a company image... just shows that a company can't do this anymore to the masses, the people are not as silenced. Its now actually in a companies best intrest to be legitimate ;)
- white_devil 14y agoYou know, we were already convinced you're a sleazebag. Lying to our faces in an attempt at damage control was unnecessary.
- mwilcox 14y agoProactive and reactive are complete opposites. You cannot 'react' 'proactively'.
- rhizome 14y agoI don't suppose your policies and processes allow for the actual author to receive the ad income from your use of his story, do they?
- artursapek 14y agoYou are a hoot.
