    The people you hurt by doing stuff like this is almost never the rich people at the top. It’s the former co-workers and others at the low end of these hierarchies. The ones who always end up having to clean up the messes.

    This isn’t some grand stand against injustice, it’s being a dick.

    Plus, there are countless better ways to do something like this which are still impactful and less likely to be caught, but I’ll leave that as an excercise to the reader.

      Oh, yeah, I wasn’t saying this guy was a hero or trying doing anything other than being a vindictive crook. I’m pointing out the wild disparity in punishment for things like “we crashed the whole economy and made off with billions” (no punishment and in fact gifts of tons more money) versus “I got mad at my employer and fucked up their computers for half a day” (ten years).

      Tell me about it. Senior leadership fails to take company into profitable direction, reduncaies time. But does any exec level person is ever affected? Fuck no, they want their bonuses for “lowering costs” by firing 17 people instead
