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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Pretty sure before hiring they can check for criminal records.

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.
