Question Is it a sin to not to share knowledge to protect ones job from job theft?

Assume there is a chef who works in the foreign country. This chef works in a hotel and he work as a chef for special meals. He has his co-workers. His co-workers have the skill that they can learn things from observation.

This chef knows how to make a delicious sauce which makes this hotel attract so many customers. He also knows how to cook few other special dishes. His co-workers want to know how he makes that special sauce. But the chef doesn’t teach them that. This is because he knows that, the sauce is one of his special recipes and he also knows that his fellow chefs can learn how to cook by looking how other chefs cook. Therefore the chef makes that sauce and his other special dishes secretly. The reason for this secrecy is that if other chefs learn how to make those special recipes of him, he is worried that he might loose his job as a chef in this hotel. Because he is worried that if the local chefs found out the recipe for his special dishes the other chefs might start making those dishes thus the credit will go to those new local chefs thus steal his position and he might loose his job. So that it will be end of his overseas courier

In this case have the chef has committed sin by keeping the recipe as a secret?
