I’ve one!
One, my then-boss, who was director-level at our group. He went into the weekly administrators assembly (held on Tuesdays), introduced he was quitting (with nothing else lined up), and that his final day was the next Thursday (as a result of our workplace is closed on Fridays Memorial Day to Labor Day and this was mid-July).
He then took two trip days (Wednesday, Thursday), we had been closed Fridays, and he was off-site Monday and Tuesday for a pre-contracted factor. He got here in on Wednesday to start packing up his workplace and determined to peel all of the tiny barcode labels off ALL his tools (laptop computer, screens, keyboard, docking station, and so forth.) and throw them away, then put his pc tools in numerous drawers and cupboards in his workplace, all separate. I don’t know why he did this, as a result of his beef was with the executive-level folks and the folks he screwed over with these actions had been our assist desk folks, most of whom had been summer season (paid) interns.
He additionally factory-reset his work-issued cellphone, then set it again up with a passcode simply to screw with folks.
Then, having accomplished ALL of that on Wednesday, he despatched an e mail to our government director that was time-delayed to be delivered AFTER he’d returned his entry badge through which he instructed her, ‘I’ve turned in my badge, cleaned out my workplace, and I’m leaving at 130 eternally. Don’t attempt to contact me, don’t attempt to attain out to me, overlook you realize me.’
Which…overdramatic, sure. But additionally–we work in an business (training) with necessary reference checks from earlier locations of employment as a result of most of our employees has state-issues skilled licenses which can be tied to employment.
After he left, it got here out he and the director of HR, whom he oversaw, had been sleeping collectively and later received married. She give up the week after him and when he was employed at one other establishment she misrepresented that she was nonetheless working right here, offered the reference checks, he received employed, after which it got here out that he had lied and she or he had lied, and he received fired.
It was WILD.
