Heh, a place where I worked some guy who left kept committing code for months (he went to work for a company we were a vendor for). Some of my teammates knew and just thought it was no big deal, he was fixing bugs and adding features.

The color the director turned when he found out!! Oh man.

This story deserves a movie, or at least a long video essay!

Haven’t laughed this hard in a long time.

I have door codes and passwords for a major organisation that I last worked for somewhere in the region of 20 years ago. They haven't rotated a damn thing. I still know people who work there, and I guess technically I still support things for them in an informal question-over-a-pint kind of way, but damn me, put in some effort guys.
