"A worker in Winnipeg, denied a weekend off, hit a few keys on a computer and knocked out 6 months worth of data.

It’s called getting back at the boss – workplace sabotage – and it’s costing Canadian businesses billions of dollars a year. Workplace sabotage, including employee theft, mostly involves tampering with products and machinery, or acts of vandalism.

One person didn’t get paid for a meeting he attended, so instead of bringing it to payroll’s attention, he put a bug in the computer. 

The most common way to undermine a company is through computers. People can wipe out piles of information or slow down or crash hard drives. Often they can set it up so it happens once they’ve quit the business."

"The stroke of a key can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.”
