Before sending it back, the former employee saved his personal files and reset the laptop to its original settings. There were no documents, no login details, and no manuals left. It was just a clean, wiped laptop.

A few days later, the manager called him.

The manager was furious.

No one could access important systems. Login keys were missing, and all the documentation was gone. Nobody knew how to run the platforms the employee had managed for years.

The former employee replied calmly and simply: he had done exactly what was asked. Just the laptop.

The call ended soon after. Meanwhile, the former employee already has a new job waiting and will start in a few weeks. First, he’s taking a well-deserved vacation. The company he left is about to find out the hard way that there’s a big difference between simple tasks and real institutional knowledge.
