'[I] deleted all record of the tool': Fired developer deletes entire project, leaving company stranded

Just take this developer who found themself “laid off” in the midst of developing a new tool for the organization. The company was “too cheap” to pay for an enterprise account at the ever-essential GitHub (a cloud-based development platform used nearly universally by developers), forcing the developers to upload from their own personal accounts that the company had no claim or ownership over. Only once the code had been reviewed and approved could it be loaded across into the company's own account. Long story short, when the developer unexpectedly had the plug to their job pulled, they decided to pull the plug to everything on the project that was still tied to their personal account as well, leaving the company stranded and in dire need of the developer they had just fired.
