Mistreated Female Worker Blocks Co-workers Access To Organization’s Database

  A woman who was mistreated at her workplace, retaliates by changing her manager’s password and tampering with the company’s database after leaving her job.

She changed her manager’s password, effectively blocking the entire team’s access to the database.

Despite the drastic step, she expresses indifference towards being viewed as immature or petty, highlighting the severity of the mistreatment she faced.

She said that good workplaces aren’t just about the company itself but about having good bosses and colleagues.

She added that even if you’re paid well, having bad managers or unsupportive coworkers can make a job terrible.

On Reddit, the woman shared how being the only woman in her team led to mistreatment.

She said, “I don’t even care that this was immature and petty of me. I can’t stress how awfully I was treated in this job, and how the entire team joined in on it. I was the only woman on the team so it could’ve been that but I don’t want to play the gender card. I was never rude to these guys. I’m not too fond of confrontation so I used to be a doormat. I was afraid to rock the boat, so I just accepted how I was treated,”

The woman further wrote that she still had access to her manager’s account, a week after leaving the job, and decided to change the password which directly impacted the logins for others in the company.

The woman narrated that she abruptly left one evening and didn’t return, prompting numerous WhatsApp calls from her colleagues questioning her absence.

Feeling emotionally overwhelmed from a prior upsetting incident, she deliberately ignored these calls, unable to handle further communication.

About a week after quitting, she discovered that she was still logged into her manager’s account, which essentially granted access to the entire restaurant’s database.

Realizing the security oversight, she made a decision to alter the associated email to a fake one she had created and changed everyone’s passwords, effectively blocking their access to the database.

She acknowledged the possibility of her gender influencing the treatment she received but refrained from solely attributing it to that factor.

Expressing her sentiments, she emphasized never being confrontational, admitting to tolerating mistreatment to avoid conflict, and essentially becoming a passive recipient of unfair treatment.

Acknowledging the drastic step she took, she expressed her indifference towards being seen as immature or petty for her actions, underscoring the severity of the mistreatment she endured at her workplace. She concluded by mentioning the lack of communication from the company after changing the passwords and intentionally avoiding the office premises as a result.
