Ok, readers, say it together with me....

"I will NOT destroy my career (and possibly my life) by doing something as malicious and stupid as damaging my former employers systems when I leave."

Lather....Rinse...Repeat

As if it needs to be said, don't follow this person's example. Why would you risk your new job to take a petty potshot at your former employer? What are you thinking?

Stories like these destroy trust between employer and employee, even if neither has done anything wrong.

Just stop it! Come on! Really!

Sheesh!
