You're arguing theory.
Delta execs could have come up with the same idea independently.
But they didn't, they literally took the idea off him after they met with him to discuss his solution.
Why are you still arguing about whether it's theoretically possible that they could have come up with it without him?
- giobox 5y agoDo you think a company is obligated to purchase every idea an employee cold sells them? It strikes me as incredibly unlikely in 2016 Delta management at some level weren't aware of the concept of workplace messaging software. Besides this one employee, there were loads of companies trying to sell this in 2016 too (Yammer, Slack, HipChat, etc, etc) as well as the usual enterprise vendors.
- breakfastduck 5y agoNo, I obviously don't think that, and are you trying as hard as possible to actually ignore the real events? You're talking about IN THEORY. There's a difference between NOT purchasing something and completely stealing someones idea / design. How is that not clear to you?
- giobox 5y agoBut how can you steal an idea that is already widely available for sale from others in the marketplace? Your assertion they "completely stole someone's idea/design" is equally theoretical here. If I purchase a washing machine from Hotpoint, I don't steal the idea of washing machines from their rivals. Thanks for the capitalization, I'd never have understood your "theory" of events without it.
