What is your best "I can't believe I got away with this" experience?
It could be telling your manager off or something spicier. A moment you can't believe you got away with in a work environment.

Long back in 2016, a fellow engineer in one of the now unicorn, had setup a spoof btc wallet backend and frontend hosted on company's AWS account.
Promoted it for a month on reddit.
Got few users totalling 36 btc.
One fine day, rug pulled in front of us in office, transferred all btc to his own binance account, then transferred to zebpay.
Immediately liquidated 1 btc and showed us the hard cash hitting his/her SBI account.
Someone ratted them out to CTO (ofcourse jealousy), immediately terminated next day.
I hope the person is rich 🤑 now.
After a year or so months the person left, we found monero miner running on all of our AWS machines. The person had setup a Jenkins job that copies a script to all AWS machines and starts the mines when either a new machine starts or a machine is ressurected.
If you know about monero they are untraceable.
Oh, btw the Jenkins job was conviniently named - Continuos security checks. So no one bothered to check the script.
The monero miner was detected because one of the devops engineer complained he is getting pagerdurty calls in 3-4 am regularly and the company never had any business in this time.
I'll go first. (Not my story, but a close friend) Our manager loved bullying my friend (let's call them x for this) for no specific reason. I'm guessing it's simply because x was timid and would take anything thrown at him.
Finally the day x snapped was when he had a pretty nasty breakup, and the manager taunted him about being alone. X was IT support. He had access to a lot of files. The Chad leaked CCTV footage of the manager gossiping about pretty much everyone in the office.Needless to say, the office reduced to chaos. No idea how he got away with that, respect him for it tho. Never mess with the nice guy
