Last day at job revenge.
Discussion
An old employer stored legal papers offsite in a number of 'secure' locations - not having all your eggs in one basket etc. There was a retrieval fee for each time a packet was brought to the office, 3 day lead time unless urgent.
One colleague spent her last 3 days just ordering mountains of docs back from storage. The wagons started arriving the day after she left.

One of the foremen on the leccy board placed his two weeks notice letter on the managers desk, personally addressed.
He programmed work for his men for two weeks and no more.
Monday morning, manager got back from his 2 week holiday to find no foreman and 30 sparks stood round with no work programmed

I could be very tempted to do exactly this the way things are at work at the moment! He programmed work for his men for two weeks and no more.

Rather silly young lady at our office in pre-computer days decided it was a good idea to up set a drawer full of index cards as her leaving present to the rest of us. Didn't bother management as we lower orders had to re-sort the index.
Rather more expensive for the company was the leaver who submitted a request for print outs of every record on a major account. These were always output on pre-printed paper at least foolscap size, bursted and stripped (OK, trimmed and separated). So not cheap.
Anyway after the next overnight run the postal messengers arrived in the department with probably a couple of hundred thousand or more of these prints, trollies and trollies of them - all for scrap.

I’ve been tempted to do something like this myself at times- but I’ve always just been happy to get out - as above; it’s amazing how far some links go….
A previous employer, who had just been taken over by our competitors, and made 75% of the company redundant, weren’t well liked, as you can imagine. When I handed my notice in, I was asked by the new owner’s HR witch how many holidays had I taken, I said 14, so a few days money to be taken OFF my final pay day. Somewhere the wires got crossed, and I was paid for an extra 14 days instead. Result!
I kept quiet for some time (literally years) and so I was paid a bonus for leaving. The best bit, I wasn’t the only one for this to happen to…. w
kers…
The favourite told to me was an email to all that simply said “it’s been a pleasure working with some of you…”

I can’t really do anything too spectacular without putting the safety of customers at risk. I have thought about doing the rounds and fking over the customers who’ve fked me over though. Or maybe welding the doors of our lockup shut one night. All my mates get the day off - the company have a st storm to deal with

After I left, a lot of seniors also left due to same reasons. The one person in charge was an absolute control freak and nightmare to work with.
I then went contracting and have never looked back.

One colleague announced their resignation by parking the company car right up to the site entrance gate on a Sunday evening, all company property left in said car (phone, laptop, PPE, tools etc etc), locked the car and threw the keys over the gate into the site. Caused a small amount of aggro come Monday morning, required an hours' wait for one of the lads to collect two sets of extension ladders from another site before keys could be retrieved, car moved and gate opened.

I know of someone who did similar only parked car blocking head office doors which opened outwards, super glued the locks and posted keys through letter box.On a similar tack- a rumour went round one company (Humberside based) I worked for that a disgruntled dismissed employee, when called on his final day to enquire where he was, replied "Abroad, oh and if you want my Company Car back it's parked at Manchester Airport..., oh and you best hurry as I have left the keys in it...".

I know (completely separately) two people who left their company cars at airports and posted the keys and car park tickets to their former employer.We had a guy resign shortly after ordering a new company car in bright yellow with a green interior.
