They should fire their IT staff or contractor. No regular user should be able to do that. Even if someone trashed the system, a restore from backup should be just a couple hours away for something that size. You could walk into my house and re-format the drives on any one or two of my computers right now, as I type this, and it would only cost me an hour or two. That’s my personal files. If I were running a business I’d be even more secure... Off-site multiple copies, etc.
Just a small preview of our next Presidente...
Also, going to be a massive return to blowjobs in the oval office...
Bet that Bill Klintoon will be a frequent visitor...
“...after being fired from 1-800-Accountant”...
Yep. Just what I imagined.
“Florida woman ‘rampaged’ employer’s computer system after getting fired”
yep, one of those revenge fantasies so many IT folk who have been shafted think about but never do ..
They fired her, and boy, did she ever turn out to be a typical Leftist. Stalking. Sexual abuse. Insubordinate.
When you read what she did at Florida Dept of Health, made changes to lock everyone out of the system, and when her boss told her to undo what she did, she said "Okay." and went on vacation for a week without doing it.
I'll see if I can find that specific article, but the one linked about is a good account.
Pro Tip:
HR is not your friend.
HR did a which hunt on Teams last December, the HR chick kept hammering me to respond.
Then she asked: Do you prefer to be called Deaf?
I told her; You can call me Mr Smith or Smith.
I then laid out some Corp misconduct and started a Dumpster Fire in Corp.
I will set off another Dumpster Fire at the next safety stand down.
I told my immediate mgr to stay out of it.
Goog luck getting another job ‘Ho.
Whoever let her have access to the computers after she was fired should also be fired - this time without access to the computers.
And that is why you secure employee office before someone’s position with the company is terminated.
An employee should never have access to anything but the front door after they have been fired.
“Hell hath no fury like (an HR) woman scorned!”
Especially middle-aged and “entitled”.
