i used to work for a dysfunctional small business ran by a tyrannical Big Capitalism wannabe. i was the leader of a small (overworked) team
my boss (the owner) ran the company like the military and disliked me, essentially because i was more knowledgeable than him in the area he hired me, and i didn’t have any interest in sucking up to him. of course he eventually fired me, and in a fit of self sabotaging rage, told me i didn’t need to prepare any handover documents or do any sort of knowledge sharing or forward any documents. he just wanted me out, and he wanted me to know that anything i’d created during my time there was useless in his eyes
during my time at the company, amongst other things, i had written dozens of process guides, an actual business plan which he referred to often, a detailed department wiki and trained the other 2 people on my team using these resources which were all housed within my own (work-related) gmail
now a month has gone by and i regularly get alerts on my gmail app asking if i’m the one trying to log in at [old job’s location] because he’s trying to access some of those files.
it’s kind of hilarious how he’d rather just keep trying to log into my account and hoping it’ll work this time rather than swallow his pride and ask me for what he needs. i mean i’d say no but that can’t be any more embarrassing than this
