'[My] software was the heart of the company': New management gets what they deserve after firing the IT guy who created their workflow software; he deletes the program on his way out

When you become the cornerstone of a company, it's unfathomable that management could ever fire you. In this case, a man who worked hard to become the heart and soul of a warehouse distribution company, was completely hoodwinked when management gave him the boot. OP had worked with the company for several years, cementing himself as a critical piece of the company's work flow. He took this a step further when he literally coded and created a new software (which was mobile AND desktop compatible) that allowed communication between the sales team and warehouse team to be seamless. With multiple gold stars on his lapel, OP felt invincible… That is, until new management came along.

OP's old boss was fixin' to retire and when he did so, a new haughty manager came in and stomped all over the playground, beating his chest like a red-faced bully to assert himself over his new lackeys. Keep on scrolling to read about how one simple malicious compliance set this company aflame when the new manager overstepped his boundaries and stepped on OP's toes. In this tale you'll find treachery, villainy, and a climactic end to one man's career in the warehouse.
