In 2006, a Coca-Cola employee tried to sell the company's secrets to Pepsi for $1.5 million. The confidential information could have severely affected Coca-Cola's competitive advantage. However, Pepsi's response was unexpected—they immediately put Coca-Cola on notice, demonstrating integrity in a high-stakes industry.
The employee, Joya Williams, was arrested and sentenced to eight years in prison for her actions. The incident showed the intense competition between two of the world's biggest beverage giants, but also highlighted how ethical behavior transcends rivalries in the corporate world.
