The other day my boss asked me for the DB I developed to plan an entire design training company (which he glanced upon in a meeting). It was all there pretty neat, and I was stupid enough to take my original work to a meeting. That smart guy has a consultancy company on the side, and is obviously looking for assets... He's actually one of those poor arrogant bastards that gives you a lecture about things you told him 3 months ago.
People think that when they're paying you, they own you.
I gave him the finger saying that those were my personal working files. I mailed him a very shortened version of the check-list from the DB and I never heard from him since, thank goodness.
If he asks me again for it, I'll just say: I deleted it, sorry.
Fuck those people.
So, to the point. You delivered your job, mc. Now they want you to give your working files so they can give it to friends or such.
I don't think that's ok. Say you deleted them, since you didn't see any interest in them any more.
They're pushing it, and you know it. Otherwise you wouldn't have posted this.
