'No one here has the password': Network employee gets laid off in downsizing move, company realizes he has all the master passwords

When this guy got called into the head boss's office, he had a feeling it wasn't a good sign. 

Getting a message from HR or the higher-ups you never really speak to can send a shiver down an employee's spine. Having to have one of these important talks can mean getting put on a PIP plan if the boss is unhappy with their work. Sometimes, HR will have to call an important meeting if the employee has been bothering other employees. There are a lot of reasons these spontaneous meetings might happen, and not many of the reasons are positive. For this person, downsizing meant that he was suddenly out of his job as an employee at an internet/network company. It's unfair, but there's nothing a worker can do when the company chooses to force them out. 

…Or is there something to be done after all? This guy didn't go out without a fight. Not only did he inconvenience his former boss and the company, but his boss seemed pretty humiliated by their final conversation. Check out u/FullBoat29's father's story of malicious compliance down below. 

Next, this worker also got fired, and they managed to make their final day at work as annoying as humanly possible for their boss, including making him miss his own wedding dinner tasting.
