Fuck You Corporate Fascists.
It's not so much authority but more like I had the power to fuck up the company and lose them a big contract with a well known company. At my old job I was the only one who could do a job for the exec (boring reports, flowcharts and such) because the dude who usually did such things was on his honeymoon. This was not at all part of my job, I was on £13.5k compared to £30-odd that the other guy did.

I took all I could get. I demanded a pay increase, an extra day off and a parking spot otherwise I refused to do it since it would fall outside my job description. Got them! Then shut down the exchange server when I left last week. Muahaha.

I hated my job with a passion - contemplated arson, suicide and going on a murderous rampage.

Wow. You asked for - and were given - a pay rise, extra day's holiday and a parking space for covering for someone who was on their honeymoon and then you switched off the exchange server when you left?

I'll bet they held quite a leaving do to celebrate your departure (although I doubt you were invited).

Yep - it was annual pay review time though so I think everybody got one - I was just a tad demanding. In my defence they made everybody's life hell - Lucoire will definitely confirm that!

I think you missed Bobby Falafel's point.
They gave you what you asked for. What more did you want from them?
