Not my coworker, but relayed by a friend.
So, homeboy is an admin on the systems at the employer, managing servers and whatnot. This gives him near unlimited access to pretty much anything. One day, he's working on the HR system and decides it's a good idea to see how his salary stacks up against his peers. He finds out that he's the lowest paid person in the group and proceeds to take this new-found information to HR to complain, expecting to get a raise.
Not only is he not given a raise, but he's fired and escorted out of the building.
