I owned a bar trivia company for a few years. We would collect email addresses for a bonus point so I got a lot of regular customers' email addresses. We would then send out a reminder email a few hours before trivia started to remind people to come and when we would get a new location we'd send an email blast advertising it.
Things like trivia wax and wane in popularity, so it wasn't unusual to lose a trivia night after a few years. I always knew it was my second to last trivia night at a location when the manager would ask me if they could have the list of customer emails I had put together over the years. I always refused.
The next week I would show up and they would tell me this is the last week of trivia and they always were surprised that I already knew. I usually had already gotten a new trivia location set up at a neighboring bar for the same night and would email all of their regulars and since they were trivia fans most of them would come to the new location.
Was fired from a job after taking a day off that was already agreed upon. However, I was working on a project migrating months of data into a system that was built from ground up. I had notes for the build and features we wanted the dev to put in, as well as basically how to run certain processes. This was all kept in my personal Google drive. So when they fired me, they did not think to ask for this information and I removed the dev’s access. Every couple weeks, I’d get a ping saying the dev was requesting access to the file. I had nothing against him - I’m sure the boss rode him as hard in the past as he was riding me - but just as a fuck you to the company. Former employer never reached out to ask for this stuff and I eventually just deleted the whole file to make room for other shit.
