I knew a guy back in the day that wrote kill routines in his code. It would check to see if he was an employee before it would run. They laid him off in February of 2000 after the Y2K non-event. Within days they noticed that the software that ran the entire company was acting up. Then they tried to run payroll and the system crashed. When they went to look at the source code they discovered that all this guy's source code was missing. They never could get it fixed and lost millions in revenue.
