Frankly, if that works and you get fired, you didn&#x27;t lose much to start with. Sorry, but keeping your job is a different skill set than doing your job.<p>I&#x27;ve had to opposite experience twice - I got drop-shipped into projects where somebody had gone rogue and I cleaned it up, and then <i>they</i> were let go. It&#x27;s most unpleasant, and had they been more perceptive they&#x27;d have known that&#x27;s what was going on. In both cases, I believe they were ready to go ( and I lost any trust in the management that used this gambit and left myself shortly).
