When I got canned from a dot-bomb just under a year ago they forgot to write
down info I gave them in my exit interview.  As a result, when someone
rebooted *both* redundant mail/dns servers - the LILO password prevented a
bootup.  I have no idea what happened, 'cause they didn't want to pay the
$250/hr fee I wanted to charge to fix it.

At the same time, they canned my employee - who was solely responsible for
the *entire* security system.  Dumb...  I visited a few months later to have
lunch with some friends, and found out that the place had *zero*
security....
