        No. On each occasion it was someone else.

          The tulip clients buy from their Indian CMM Level 5 Plenty Cheapness suppliers doesn't need sabotaging anyway.
          Agreed. Simply working your notice out and leaving is a better option.

              No been tempted. Always got on well with clients.

              At opne place I saw someone boasted he had put a back door in! Nothing malicious but enabled him to have a hunt round. No-one shopped him.

              But someone else did something similar. I shopped him.....

                A contractor where I worked years ago put a deliberate bug into software in order to try to get a renewal when he knew that his time was up. He was in collusion with his girlfriend in the company who was responsible for checking that the data was ok. She would come into the dept every day complaining about this bug, putting pressure on the IT manager. The contractor was so arrogant that he did not think that a permie would spot his handiwork, but one of us surely did.
