Yea, thinking on it further he probably can't JUST drop the guy. There probably needs to be a paper trail of the guy continuously failing, despite documented notifications and repeated warnings. I'm all for $assistant succeeding, but I'm also out of patience with a few of my own coworkers. Of course, I don't owe a guy I'll never see a dozen states away any slack

RFC2324 posted:I usually let them know the new password on the way out, and tell them what I did to improve performance and security. For my curiousity, do you enjoy getting tech support calls for the next 12 months about totally unrelated things because they associate the fact you touched something IT related so you must have broken something else?

Its never happened at a place where they could later locate me, oddly. They always end up calling someone who knows nothing.

To clarify, it's not illegal to tell them, it's illegal to access their system without authorisation even if you don't have to break in.

Yeah maybe drop them an email with a few sentences to explain the problem and the fix and wait to hear back from them. Or just ignore it.

No at some point in his future larches will travel into the past and slowly become the CE who lets face it, has a great job: spends his time making money, probably stealing hardware and funds, doing almost no work, plays pranks on his younger self and knows he can't be fired BECAUSE HE WAS NEVER FIRED
