'Don't fire me so you can hire your nephew': IT guy taked with training nepo-baby replacement, sabotages the business before his final day

Let this story serve as a friendly reminder to never underestimate the power of the IT guy. 

This employee ended up going from leading a robust team to being a one-man operation following the arrival of the company's new highly problematic CFO Pam. Pam started getting rid of employees who had been around for a long time one-by-one, so this Redditor knew his time was coming. One day, he was tasked with training Pam's 21-year-old nephew in all things IT. She clearly thought that his technological competence when it came to turning on the TV was good enough to run an entire company's technology and software. Well, Pam thought wrong. This Redditor seemed to go along with it, but he was not going to let this lady trick him into training his future replacement without giving her a piece of his mind too.

Keep scrolling below for the full story and for the consequences after the Redditor was officially fired. Let's just say the nepo-baby was not up to task when the entire business had to come to a screeching halt.
