Killing company honorable though.

If you’re that good, you can contract yourself out.
The future is self-employment and unions.

In many cases, you pretty much didn’t exist before you stepped through the doors at your new company. People in all departments are too overloaded with work to take their time properly vetting every person joining the circus
mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
Most companies use background check services nowadays. Sure, you could try to just invent a new persona, but HR will flag you when your name, SSN, DOB, etc come back as bogus.
There are even background check companies that specialize in corporate background checks. They’ll try to estimate or find things like how much you made at your previous/current job, so the company you’re applying for knows what they can offer you without it seeming like a lowball. If a company can spend $100 on a background check and save $10k per year on an employee salary, that’s an easy financial decision for the company.

I’d hire him.
I mean, I don’t have a company, or employees, but if I did…I’d hire him.

And who is going to know? If you are stupid enough to release the code to your private account, then you might have difficulties to find a new job. Other than that, except when you were in a niche, no one will ever know it was you and the company is not allowed to tell others.
ricecake@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
no one will ever know it was you and the company is not allowed to tell others.
That’s absolutely not true. The generally accepted policy is to only confirm dates of employment, conduct, and if they would rehire. The can share anything that isn’t a lie.
Additionally, if you commit sabotage you can have charges pressed against you. Serious ones with possible prison time. That would show up with even a rudimentary record search.

Pretty sure before hiring they can check for criminal records.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 months ago
i mean, that’s legitimately why they escort you out immediately after telling you you’re fired. most people can be responsible but there’s always that one shitass
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I know it’s a meme but I’d notify the lawyer before coding that, they’ll laugh themselves silly. Electronic vandalism is still vandalism only the damages are higher.

BeardededSquidward@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
Agreed, if this is true you should not be posting about it at all no matter where it is. It’s best to just keep it quiet because the company at this point can probably get law enforcement involved if they ID the person. The only time a company should know something is going on in this situation your lawyer should already be fully involved.

Pretty sure it’s just a joke post. Someone smart enough to make something like that is also smart enough to not put a neon sign over them with a post like that - if they were serious, I mean.

If you’ve ever been let go by a corp you know you’re gonna need some sort of remote trigger. They’ll say “Can I see you for a minute?” and then BOOM! out the door.

Deadman switch. Hit the button before all meetings and if you aren’t back in 2 hours to disable it then it would execute.
axx@slrpnk.net 2 months ago
Run it on a separate machine / account. In big corporate environments, your user account could be disabled by the time you walk into the meeting room.
Better solution, if you can, work for open source companies: at least the codebase is already public!

I got laid off almost 2 years ago. I now work for the same company again working fewer hours at much higher pay. Layoffs aren’t necessarily the end, and they can very much be the start of renegotiating your position
cm0002@lemdro.id 2 months ago
Yea, this is the reason I held my tongue when the company CEO who laid me off last year (Who I worked directly under) posted something about investing in the people who further their goals. Because I had a bunch of very snarky I could have clapped back with, but I decided to not burn the bridge

Posting pragmatic advice of “don’t burn bridges” on a post advocating for committing career-ending crimes against your former employer is somehow anti-union? Da fuq?

Did this once to a company that treated me disrespectful. In the 90s when I still worked. To not go into any detail: Set a timer for 7 months after I was gone. Virus started infecting everything slowly so that even the backups were useless. I knew their schedule, it was not optimal and not very secure. Well, another few months later, company was sold cheap. Employees taken over and all happy now.

blady_blah@lemmy.world 2 months ago
The reality is people get laid off or fired for all sorts of reasons. This is the IT equivalent of setting fire to the equipment that you used to build something and the production prototype and walking out the door thinking you can just just leave and get away with it.
In this guy’s fantasy he would be doing 10 to 20 years of prison time if he gets caught and charged with both state and federal crimes. And let’s be real, he’ll definitely get caught.
