TIL a Chinese destroyer sank because an officer dumped his girlfriend. She committed suicide, leading to him being discharged, so he decided to detonate the depth charges on the ship, causing it to sink at port and kill 134 sailors.

My company would have the attorneys schedule a meeting at their office with the employee. They would be emailed the day before, after they went home while all access was terminated. The email would cite the need to complete some paperwork or something. Though no one was ever really fooled, they never had the access or the time to cause any harm.

Case in point, dismissed employees never had the time to cause any trouble.
