Moral issues aside, some companies are so lax in their security policies that they make it easy for those so inclined to take revenge.
On my first day at a drug and alcohol rehab place where I used to work, I found a floppy disk (remember those?) in one of my desk drawers with everyone's salary, social security numbers, etc.
I turned it in to management with a suggestion they be more careful, but I could just as easily been a dick about it. I found out later that a previous sysadmin had done just that, locking them out of the network when they fired him.
You'd think people would learn. Just more proof that you don't have to be particularly smart to be in charge.
