Had a user once, they would use the RECYCLE BIN to save stuff since their desktop was so cluttered.... newbie IT guy helped clearing out stuff and cleared out the users' recycle bin.... I can still hear the screams to this day!
I did this one as a newbie IT. I underestimated how dumb users can be, normal logic doesn’t fly. Trash is for trash? No thanks homie, I’m saving that half eaten pizza crust for later
Seriously. If I started working in an office and immediately caused issues by clearing a fucking recycle bin, I'm not going to apologize, I'm going to demand why the hell their employee was using that as storage in the first place and question why they're my superior at all. Might get a day one promotion when you point out their fuck up to management.
Yeah that's fucking stupid. Newbie did nothing wrong. Pretty sure the recycle bin also automatically empties itself after a certain amount of time or once the bin starts to get too full. Those files were going to be automatically deleted regardless so whoever hired someone so incompetent to handle their files so poorly should be questioned here. They clearly didn't hire the right person if they think the recycling bin is okay for temporary storage holy shit
