Some lessons are only learned the hard way, as these bosses found out after making a critical mistake.
Backing up your creations, whether it be writing, data, or video files, is crucial. It's an easy thing to overlook: you think to yourself, "Oh, I'll back it up later." But the first time you accidentally lose four days of work on your video edit, or find yourself staring at a blank Word document that used to be 15 pages long, you realize just how critical it is to have redundancies. Suddenly, it does seem important to save that work ASAP!
This person, u/oldman712, was exceptionally good at saving their work. They'd spent thousands of dollars over the years on their own personal data drive disks. These contained not just their current work, but past work as well. So when this person was asked to leave their job, they needed to take those personal drives too. Their job seemed to barely care about this at all, and just asked that all the data be deleted. Okay, whatever you say…
Up next, this bad manager kept insisting that a teenage worker wasn't qualified to do oil changes, so the worker gleefully bugged him for an entire day, saying, "He seems annoyed."
