    Long time ago my boss

    tells me to make an SSH account called “companyname” with password “companyname123”

    I refused, that’s stupid, it’s a security nightmare waiting to happen. I’ll happily make a different account and you know, make you use a good password

    No, you MUST do this.

    Okay, I protest, but orders are orders

    Fast forward 2 months. Servwr gets hacked, through that account. Boss tales awayy year bonus because of this.

    YOU FORCED ME TO DO THIS! !

    yes I did but you are still responsible for the security of all the servers. This server was hacked, and because of that you will be denied your bonus

    The stupidity that some people can display is amazing, really

        You find a better job, then you quit

        But I’ll be honest, looking back at that job, that xompani really sucked the joy out of my life. Not the only company that did that either
