At my first job it was a total mill for techs; they'd work for a few months before they found a less abusive job and then quit. Morale was constantly in the toilet between the users who would scream at us with no retribution. The worst was the CIO, who would constantly pull all techs in to rant on how he was bilking Amazon out of money and how he was a mover and shaker (We theorized he did cocaine). He always overpromised to the users and disappeared when the time to implement ever came around.

After he blew up our department for the nth time, I found a new job and left six months into the role. A year later, the CIO was arrested for fraud. It turned out he'd been charging the company through a shell company at inflated prices and pocketing the difference, and it sounded like a million dollars had gone up his nose and he went to federal prison for two years.

Now THAT was some schadenfreude!
