<p>It doesn't stop with students. At a job I had once, the new employees were asked to present something about themselves at a staff meeting. (This was a social services occupation, where things were a bit more touchy-feely than I usually am.) One of my coworkers called me the night before, concerned about what she would say, and we talked for quite awhile. I naively told her what I was going to say -- After all, it was about ME, right? Who would copy? The next day, she volunteered to go first, and spouted off my own personal story as hers, with a few tweaks! It was horrible. Left me with nothing to say, looking like a fool, and so mad I could hardly speak anyway. I still cringe when I remember. She was a master manipulator, and stayed with the job a lot longer than I did.</p>
