If an IT department did this to me without warning, I'd quit that day, CC'ing my manager and the IT guy's manager telling them exactly why they'll now have to spend months finding and training my replacement.

- jodrellblank 16y agoI parked my personal car in the company fleet car garage and they clamped it. I didn't understand what was happening and called the rescue company telling them it had broken down and wasted lots of time. This was so unfair I quit that day, causing a dramatic fuss pointing out exactly how much they'll suffer. That'll show them.
- Splines 16y agoYour analogy would be more apt if you once parked your car in the company lot, and then years later some IT guy sneaks into your house at night and clamps your car.
- achille 16y agoImagine today one of your employees quits on the spot, tells you he's quitting because his car was clamped. You have no idea who manages the parking lot, but now you just lost a resource on your project. How did your manager end up reacting?
- jodrellblank 16y agoNot a true story, an attempt to frame the parent post I was replying to in a different light to show how much of a prima Donna overreaction it would be, and as you say, directed at the wrong people too.
