Hmmm. Not exactly. I did give the admin passwords to others (rotated every 90 days), like my manager, but I guess they never wrote them down or otherwise stored

Hmmm. Not exactly. I did give the admin passwords to others (rotated every 90 days), like my manager, but I guess they never wrote them down or otherwise stored them. I also maintained operational documents for the systems, but was told to just keep them on my PC, since I was the only one that would read them. I always viewed my termination as a version of the "sysadmin paradox". If a sysadmin does her job poorly, stuff breaks a lot, and she gets to save the day - she's the hero! Everyone recognizes her awesomeness. However, if she does her job well, nothing ever breaks, everything is quiet, no heroism - well, someone in management will eventually think she's useless and eliminate her position. I think that's what happened in my case. I took pride in the "quietness" of my systems, and I think someone took that as my job being unnecessary. https://blog.devolutions.net/2017/07/sysadminotaur-61-the-sysadmin-paradox/ https://blog.devolutions.net/2017/07/sysadminotaur-61-the-sy...
