I don't think that's the case here. He was very frustrated with certain policies and procedures related to his work and it could easily have been the point where he'd had enough. He ended up being forced to take on one task that was floated by me a year or so ago -- and I turned it down.

Don't forget, this was the same outfit in which a loaner laptop became my permanent one for its three-year lease period but when a wintertime static discharge blew out the USB ports they could neither replace it (policy: it had a couple of years left) nor fix it (it was "too old").

That's pretty extreme. I also worked for a company that was common-sense averse. Too bad neither of us thought to implement the Scott Adams solution.

All this incompetence,...... it's the fall of Rome.
