If the data is present but difficult to restore, it’s annoying. You might need to spend a few days fixing stuff.
If the data is gone, it’s devastating and can bankrupt a company. On a personal level it’s the same as having all your photos destroyed in a fire. And backups not containing the right data are very common.






Ok real talk here.
Work to rule and malicious compliance only works when you have the backing of a strong union, or workers rights. In the US, for most jobs, they can fire you whenever they feel like it, and for no reason at all.
If anyone senior decides you’re fucking with them, even if there’s no proof, and they’re completely running on vibes, they might just fire you anyway.
My advice is copy the other porters. They know how much they can get away with, and find a decent hiding place for when you’re on a break.
