Pretty much any one who worked for any company can screw them over in one fashion or another. Doesn't mean you drop yourself to their level. Have some dignity and self respect bro. |

| 824252 | 2009-10-26 03:23:00 | No. It's more fun this way. It's more fun, sure. But in the long run that's worse for you. Such unprofessional behavior will hurt his chances of getting another job. That kind of thing sticks with you for a lot longer than the feeling of hate and anger. Where's the stoic mentality when you need it? |

I was once asked to audit a company's computer systems and lock them down as completely as possible after their sysadmin had left for the day, and do everything possible to make sure he couldn't get back in. The following morning when he arrived at the office, he was informed he no longer had a job. This was after ongoing performance issues with said sysadmin - he didn't seem like the malicious type, but they wanted to be safe. If I was firing / making redundant my IT staff, I'd do my damnest to lock the whole shebang away from them before I told them they were canned. Even if they seem sensible, it pays to make sure, as with most modern organisations the IT staff are possibly the most dangerous employees in the entire company. |

I have known people in England that have had that happen to them, mainly to stop them taking client lists if they were that way inclined |

Moral #2 - don't give just one person complete, unaudited access to systems. 'Belts and braces' as they say. |

| 824257 | 2009-10-26 04:49:00 | I've shown my manager so many loopholes in our various systems that she'd be stupid not to do the same to me. Not that I can see myself doing that. Everyone senior in any industry seems to know everyone else. There's no way I'd work again. |
