Well that's one way to never get another job again.

[–] far_university1990@reddthat.com 93 points 16 hours ago

Killing company honorable though.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 54 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

If you’re that good, you can contract yourself out.

The future is self-employment and unions.

Of the two I’ll pick wandering into the forest and dying of exposure.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago

I mean, I used to be an accountant and now I'm a starving musician. It can be done.

That's quitter talk, I believe in your ability to become a mystic mountain/forest/cave person that people hear rumors about when hiking the trails during a full moon.

Be the eldritch horror you want to see in the world.

[–] HertzDentalBar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 10 hours ago

That's my plan, when the time comes i become the mountain man. I'm not giving up on life just this life.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Then I’m a quitter.

Fuck everyone.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

one fuck at a time dude

[–] EggInDisguise@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

You can quit if you want to

You can leave your friends behind.

If you rage quit, be sure to make a splash!

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago


wait i always thought it was "this cannon is gonna be loaded when i go off". i'm gonna keep using mine.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

Pfft, like I have friends

[–] mastertigurius@lemmy.world 26 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

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 10 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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.

"most" is the keyword here.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 21 points 16 hours ago

I'd hire him.

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

[–] shweddy@lemmy.world 5 points 15 hours ago

Thats what they get want you to think

[–] MsPenguinette@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

It’s the suicide bomber method

[–] zr0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

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.

You have zero clue what you’re talking about.

This is criminal behaviour and not only will it prevent future employment it will almost certainly result in jail time.

[–] zr0@lemmy.dbzer0.com -4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Well, it depends on where you live I guess, not everything happening in the US is automatically true for the rest of the world. In the US, you as an individual are of no value and your rights get kicked in the balls constantly.

[–] Cypher@aussie.zone 5 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

I am not in the US and I can tell you now, this would land you in jail and go on your record in virtually any developed country.

This is a dumb and illegal tantrum by a fool.

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 hours ago

I've got to laugh at someone from auzzie.zone needing to tell someone they're not in the US.

There really are some spectacular morons on here.

[–] zr0@lemmy.dbzer0.com -5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Sure buddy, those poor corporations need to be protected even more =)

[–] Cypher@aussie.zone 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

If you didn’t guess I work in cyber security. I’ve gathered the evidence that sends idiots like these to jail.

Go ahead and whinge all you want. Their actions are illegal.

[–] zr0@lemmy.dbzer0.com -4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

A true hero, thank you so much for your service.

[–] Cypher@aussie.zone 3 points 7 hours ago

no one will ever know it was you and the company is not allowed to tell others.

Ready to admit you were talking nonsense?

[–] ricecake@sh.itjust.works 5 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 hours ago

And you bet your ass the company would share the court documents with anyone who asked.

[–] zr0@lemmy.dbzer0.com -2 points 9 hours ago

I guess it depends on where you live. I could imagine that in the US, you as an individual get way less protection than corporations. Where I live, spreading around that you are a criminal, would be itself a criminal offense, unless you are a person of public interest.

Criminal records have to be provided voluntarily and may not be asked for, if not strictly necessary.

[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 5 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Pretty sure before hiring they can check for criminal records.

[–] zr0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 9 hours ago

Where Iive, you have to provide those voluntarily and it is only allowed to ask for it, when you work with sensitive data or in sensitive environments.
