@SwiftOnSecurity Meanwhile, people giving away access to autistic teens calling them on the phone saying they're IT support and they need to fix something.
An employee resigned yesterday.
Voluntarily.
Which I found extremely aggressive.
He gave two weeks’ notice.
I gave him a calendar invite.
���Exit Interview — 15 Minutes.”
He arrived carrying coffee.
Confident.
Too confident.
I asked why he was leaving.
“Better opportunity.”
I nodded.
“Better how?”
More money.
“Define more.”
$20,000.
I wrote:
“Motivated by financial gain.”
Then I asked what the new company offered that we didn’t.
Remote work.
Higher salary.
Four weeks vacation.
Annual bonuses.
He just kept confessing.
Eventually I stopped him.
“This isn’t looking great for you.”
He reminded me that he was already quitting.
Exactly the kind of defeatist attitude we had been documenting.
So I presented our counteroffer.
Same salary.
Same job.
But we would let him pick one snack for the break room.
He declined.
Unbelievable.
So we moved to offboarding.
Laptop.
Badge.
Keys.
Parking pass.
Company mug.
He said he bought the mug himself.
Don't care.
Then I asked him to return any intellectual property developed during his employment.
He asked what that meant.
I pointed at his head.
Legal stopped the meeting shortly after that.
His last day is Friday.
We’re still negotiating custody of several memories.
