The Scenario: In this credit stealing skills development cartoon, we witness the ultimate entitlement of the corporate climber.
A frustrated employee storms out of the L&D manager's room, disgusted that the company’s Learning & Development team doesn't offer a formal certification in "credit-stealing skills."
It captures the absurdity of a workplace where unethical behavior is viewed as a "competency" that just needs a better curriculum.
The Observation: This narrative identifies the "Gamification of Ethics"—where employees treat professional development as a way to find shortcuts rather than build actual value.
At Kaapi with Ravi, we observe that the most dangerous employees are the ones who think "soft skills" should include professional plagiarism. This post highlighs how the culture of "constant learning" can be twisted to serve the most toxic of office politics.
In the modern office, a "Skills Development" course is just a 60-minute obstacle standing between a corporate climber and their next stolen win.
