Frustrated Consultant 'Went Full Hulk' And Started Smashing Hardware
The Register, Monday, October 27th, 2025
Welcome to Monday morning and another installment of Who, Me? For the uninitiated, it's The Register's weekly reader-contributed column that tells tales of your greatest misses, and how you rebuilt a career afterward.
This week, meet a reader we'll Regomize as "Ted" who joined a nonprofit company that ran a small consultancy team providing its clients with tech services.
Ted later discovered that the company hired him because the previous tech team had all just resigned.
"As I went through the interview process, I learned they were essentially locked out of their servers because the previous team did not leave admin passwords behind," Ted wrote. "They asked if I could get into the servers, I said yes, and they handed me a huge pile of old notes."
