Respect to Lu. Sabotaging the means of production, aka DISRUPTION OF CAPITAL FLOW is a key element to anti-capitalist resistance. Yes, I know his motives were for revenge, but it still counts.

For obvious reasons, this is fortunately very rare. I think the problems are more likely with them firing key employees, so there is now nobody left with the required knowledge to keep their services running properly. In other words, they're reaping what their greed sowed.

So, they took away responsibilities, and he did this?
Let me guess, forced to commute? Just saying this person's talents were very under utilized. Sounds like they were bored.
Also, did they take pay when they took responsibility?
It's petty, but I'm not mad at em.
I snorted about the coworkers shit disappearing.

Honestly this.
If you want to sabotage a buisness, the ideal tool to do that is thier own processes.
This is explicitly why 'work to rule' is so effective and is frequently used as a form of industrial action.
