> and how to prevent them. I've found going by the motto "don't be a dick" tends to be a decent deterrent against doing something stupid like maliciously wiping company data and getting sued and/or going to jail for it. If it's your employer doing it to you, there is plenty enough opportunity in IT to find work at a place that doesn't have a hostile work environment.
