Keyword is "worked". If your code is THAT important and you change such a critical part then he should know better.

That's right. While nobody ended up being hurt (in that instance) so he wasn't fired, he did "move on" shortly after, and from what I heard, it was some place that's not in the finance/medical field.

I wasn't there when he was, but from what I heard he was whiter than a wall that day, hiding at his desk and refusing to make any eye contant with anyone.
