What's threatening? I read that as just wanting their access removed as per policy/procedure, with no special treatment, because that both protects the employer from potential tampering and the employee from accusations of such tampering.
I don't read any implied threat that they actually intend to or think they might do something harmful, just wanting a CYA in the same way the company wants one.
- kstrauser 2y agoThat's exactly it. I'm not asking them to save me from temptation or anything like that, or to provide me an alibi ("ok, you're locked out now wink"). I want them to do the right thing for our mutual benefit.
- warunsl 2y agoPretty sure they read "If I can't get in, they can't blame me if something goes wrong down the road." as "If I can get in, they can't blame me if something goes wrong down the road." That's the only interpretation that sounds threatening.
- kstrauser 2y agoOhhhhh, that makes much more sense now. If I read it that way, I'd also think I was a creep. Yep, they confirmed it.
