Could be a partner, roommate, coworker, or somebody you volunteered with. They could have stopped for any reason from leaving, getting sick or hurt or even dying to just getting sick of doing that one thing and stopping.
Coworker of mine was handling hardware returns for our main data center. There were two issues with this: It wasn’t his job and he never told anyone about it. Work fired him during his vacation because they saw he wasn’t completing his assignments, but never asked him for reasons.
Six months later, the company got hit with over 200k in service plan renewals for hardware we no longer used.
Lmao, I hope you let him know after this happened.
Imagine being in a meeting with all the most important people when they figure out the problem and it turns out that you were the one who fired the guy. What I wouldn’t give to listen in on that meeting lmao
Someone I worked with (indirectly) managed her team when certain changes needed to happen with infrastructure. After she left, her replacement wasn’t given guidance on why this was important. A routine infra change led to multiple days of chaos because that end wasn’t handled properly.
I ended up demoted as a result, but not fired nor docked pay. My job is easier because I have less responsibility, so the grass is definitely greener over here. I’m watching my temp replacement struggle with the position and I don’t miss it.
