One more note... we had an employee who pulled this stunt right in the middle of his shift. I believe that he stragetically planned his exit as so to inflict the most damage to the company as possible - he had always been a trouble employee and felt that he was owed soooooo much for his poor, lackadaisical performance. Upon his leaving, I instructed that he get paid immediately for all time worked plus any vacation which was promptly mailed to his home address.

Several months later this same employee had found a house to buy and the bank had called to verify his previous employment with us prior to providing financing. Unfortunately, I had to correct them when they presented the wrong job title, wrong pay level prior to leaving, and wrong reason for leaving. Now you guess if he was able to buy that house!!!
