I first heard about this yesterday, and this was the conversation that popped into my mind:

REPLACEMENT H-1B WORKER: “Hi Mr. X, I was told I could call you for advice on the code you wrote for this process before they laid you off and hired me. We added a new process, and the code doesn’t work. Could you help me fix it?”

LAID OFF MR. X: “Sure. Just un-comment this line here, comment out this line and recompile. That should fix it for you.” Click.

Later...

REPLACEMENT H-1B WORKER: “But sir, I did as Mr. X suggested, and it wrote data to the wrong part of the database, and we can’t undo it...our records are unusable, all the key fields have been overwritten and the backups are no good!”

You have a devious, vindictive streak in you.

I like that.
We think much alike.

It also reminded me of this little meme;

Sheee-uh. I don’t remember what the code does that I worked on yesterday.
You can call all you want but I can’t remember anything.

Or,

“Ok you need to go to your command line and type this in verbatim......’sudo rm -rf /’ That should fix ‘er right up.”
