        Agreed, if this is true you should not be posting about it at all no matter where it is. It’s best to just keep it quiet because the company at this point can probably get law enforcement involved if they ID the person. The only time a company should know something is going on in this situation your lawyer should already be fully involved.

    I wonder how many people here actually do any sort of hiring or firing. Companies don’t check fuck all and if you’re in a position where they do, releasing this kind of information will quickly become their problem not yours.

    If you’ve ever been let go by a corp you know you’re gonna need some sort of remote trigger. They’ll say “Can I see you for a minute?” and then BOOM! out the door.

        Run it on a separate machine / account. In big corporate environments, your user account could be disabled by the time you walk into the meeting room.

        Better solution, if you can, work for open source companies: at least the codebase is already public!

          If you’re in a position to have access make this sort of thing, you likely have access to code bases or system accounts. This is a good way to go to prison IMO.

    I got laid off almost 2 years ago. I now work for the same company again working fewer hours at much higher pay. Layoffs aren’t necessarily the end, and they can very much be the start of renegotiating your position

    That’s why you’re usually put on garden leave immediately after being told. Or if in the US, just straight up kicked out I guess.

        You get paid, but you’re not allowed to come to work. You’re banned from the workplace, usually as a security/safety measure, but because of labour laws or contractual obligations they can’t stop paying you yet.

    You could probably make it look like an accident. “I guess the LLM was having trouble reaching my account after I was deleted, so it posted everything to pastebin so I could see it there”

      That’s actually somewhat plausible, I saw a vid earlier today from some one talking about how their work coding AI agent noticed that their NPM was set to only update package dependencies 7 days after release because ya know best security practices and all that

      It “helpfully” set it to 0 because they would miss top features otherwise LMAO

        Most companies use background check services nowadays. Sure, you could try to just invent a new persona, but HR will flag you when your name, SSN, DOB, etc come back as bogus.

        There are even background check companies that specialize in corporate background checks. They’ll try to estimate or find things like how much you made at your previous/current job, so the company you’re applying for knows what they can offer you without it seeming like a lowball. If a company can spend $100 on a background check and save $10k per year on an employee salary, that’s an easy financial decision for the company.

      And who is going to know? If you are stupid enough to release the code to your private account, then you might have difficulties to find a new job. Other than that, except when you were in a niche, no one will ever know it was you and the company is not allowed to tell others.

        no one will ever know it was you and the company is not allowed to tell others.

        That’s absolutely not true. The generally accepted policy is to only confirm dates of employment, conduct, and if they would rehire. The can share anything that isn’t a lie.

        Additionally, if you commit sabotage you can have charges pressed against you. Serious ones with possible prison time. That would show up with even a rudimentary record search.

          I guess it depends on where you live. I could imagine that in the US, you as an individual get way less protection than corporations. Where I live, spreading around that you are a criminal, would be itself a criminal offense, unless you are a person of public interest.

          Criminal records have to be provided voluntarily and may not be asked for, if not strictly necessary.
