‘Take your time then’: Senior attorney refuses to give laptop to IT contractor despite security concerns, costing law firm thousands
One IT contractor got paid thousands after a senior attorney stubbornly refused to give up his laptop for a new system installation. The law firm had hired OP to install new systems on 800 field laptops after a major data breach, and OP admitted it was a complex logistical operation that required a lot of time… and work. After fixing all the laptops, OP had one laptop left to refurbish. The senior attorney was taking his sweet time and driving OP crazy, which eventually led to inevitable curiosity. The attorney knew about the security concerns. Was he hiding something? Why wasn't he giving OP his laptop? What could possibly be on there?
Despite multiple attempts to persuade him to switch to a secure device, the attorney persisted due to personal reasons, which you can read about by scrolling down. Then, here is a funny story about a customer who returned albums to a record store that had locked him into a 36-month contract. The catch was that he sent everything back… with cement. Yes, like actual cement.
