    workers who sabotage corporate systems are almost always IT workers who are disgruntled, paranoid, generally show up late, argue with colleagues, and generally perform poorly.

    Maybe they just want their red stapler back.

    Wow. That's odd. I would've figured IT workers who sabotage corporate systems would be the workers who are happy, secure, generally show up on time, work well with colleagues, and generally perform superbly. Goes to show you that logic doesn't always pay off. (I'm ready for the Troll/Flamebait mod guys :)

    If they'd turned up on time, were cordial with their colleagues and performed better, they'd never have been caught.

    Disgrutled = Forced to install Notes
    Paranoid = Forced to sit next to Notes Server all day waiting for the memory leak to take over
    Late = Due to sleep deprevation from having to go in at 2am to reboot the Notes Server
    Argumentative = Caught whispering "Exchange, bitches." under his breath
    Poor Performer = Changed Cert ID password to "Fuck Notes"

    Whats not to understand?
