'All I did was settle the score': IT employee gets manager fired after finding a bug in code that allows entire company to access clientele

Finding work is harder than it looks. We don't even begin to consider all the little details that go into our future careers when we apply for a job. like, off the top of my mind, a mandatory background check?

In the story below, OP runs the risk of losing his job because his background check does not match the information he provided on his resume or in his interviews. However because he was forced to sign a confidentiality agreement with his prior employers, OP failed to disclose some of the companies he had worked for, much to the hiring manager's dismay. In OP's industry, confidentiality agreements are rather usual; yet, the new recruiting manager appeared to ignore this fact and threatened to immediately terminate the contract.

In return, OP devises a cunning scheme to exact revenge on the hiring manager instead of caving into his intimidation. I won't give too much away, but read the story below to learn more about what transpired with the recruiting manager, what happened to OP in the end, and how OP was able to flip the script in such a dramatic way!
