Stash something in the boss's desk and F... his life. Watch out for cameras. Then remote to his computer and delete the list or just take your name off it. Despair is never a useful strategy. When life gives you anything, take what you deserve and give the rest of it back.

#52: You don't get it. This is EXACTLY what "an eye for an eye" means. The whole point is that even if the company did screw up, it doesn't make it okay to take revenge by screwing his coworkers, boss, other IT people who have to sort it out... The industrial system can be pretty cold and heartless, but vengeance is neither right nor mature, and has a way of hurting innocent people. How would you like to be the coworker who not only suddenly has twice the work to do now that Joe has been fired, but loses all their files when Joe wrecks the system? Or the guy in the next department who's laid off when the company loses millions in hacker attacks and can't afford to keep him anymore? Sure, I agree, the company was lacking honor and common decency. But that gives the poster no right to toss all his out the window. Man, this world is screwed up.

Fire the person who fired you. or give them a reason why they fired you for security reasons

Wow, thats rough.

I would have told them to f themselves and to remove everyone from the system themselves.

That sucks, I was in a similar situation a few years back. The problem was that I was their only IT administrator, I had all the passwords to all the systems. I got to work and they gave me a typed letter indicating that my employment has been terminated due to financial difficulties, but that I can leave the office immediately and still receive my full salary for the following two months. I took them up on the offer, only to have them call me 5min later to ask me for some passwords and assistance. I refused.

don't be a sore loser. just do the job.

I would have taken my name out then went to your bosses desk threw the list on the table and said"now its your problem you remove the rest of the people" and then walked out the office

|O|, your boss is crazy!

well if you're a good programmer and you know your way around IT systems, then you should have left a few back doors open to later hack into the network and sell company secrets to the competition. Its about time these non-technical bosses learn that IT is not just a cost center, its the glue that holds the company together.
