Company begs employee to tell them his work laptop’s password 6 months after he was fired: ‘Even I can do a hard factory reset’
Not every company in the world is the best at Information Technology. Some of them don’t even have an IT department, and it really shows.

Management takes away employee’s sick day if they’re 1 minute late for 4 shifts; ‘Is this legal?’
