    Watch it get found by an employee in a personal backup and then later get fired (like what happened with Toy Story 2) or get into trouble for “inappropriate copying of company property” or something similiar

      I mean, the woman who had the toy story 2 backup did get fired like 25 years later. That is a quarter of a century.

        Yeah. I mean credit where credit is due, but saving a project once doesn’t give you a lifetime get out of future screwups pass. It might give you leniency on the next few projects you worked on, but it’s been years at this point.
