Thanks for Hosting My Web Hosting Business Boss | How Did That Person Get Fired - Part 9
This is a multi-part series on from Reddit r/sysadmin on how "that Person" in the office got fired.
Our company was called in to assess a 1-man IT department while the IT guy took a vacation. The business owner couldn't understand why he was spending so much on IT equipment and services and he wanted us to investigate.
This tiny company had several racks of servers connected to multiple T1 lines (this was before broadband internet).
We found that the IT guy was running a web hosting business on his bosses's dime. Equipment, software, routers, T1 lines all paid for by his boss.
When IT guy got back to work, he was told to pack up his shit and leave. The web servers were shut down and the T1 lines disconnected.
