Someone I worked with had a great rage quit. He worked his ass off for the whole year doing insane overtime and sacrificing way too much for a thankless corporation. When it came to raise time, my boss gave him a 0% raise, citing that he already made more than average/benchmark.
After that meeting he just left. He left all his work stuff on his desk, he didn’t tell anyone he wasn’t coming back from lunch time ish. It took a full month before they stopped paying him, and my boss would come around almost every day to ask if anyone knew where he was or how to contact him. I think they just assumed he was blowing off steam and would come back, meanwhile he moved to another city.
Lovely story… I’ve just found out my healthcare organisation gets its corporate branding wallpaper from an anonymous read blob storage (which I think I can get access to).
The temptation to fill this with dick pics on my last day is more than I thought. Not ready to retire yet, unfortunately!
I also hand a workmate when we were both young and this guy was a hot headed young Russian, he’d monitor the borderware firewall logs and counter hack people probing it (back in 2010…). so on his last week I was really worried about what timebombs or other traps he may have set. Turns out the guy was a complete professional (which shouldn’t have surprised me, really - he hated the management but loved the team and wouldn’t have done anything to hurt us)
