Rules and policies are set in all organizations. Their main purpose is to keep everyone operating within a set boundary so they don’t engage in anything that can be disastrous for the company or for that person. It also prohibits you from doing anything that is illegal or hurts the interest of anyone in the organization. But sometimes you have to ignore the policy and take unpopulous decisions for a fruitful outcome. Something similar happened in the story we have got for you guys today.
This one office employee who worked in the IT department for a company got approached by his executive to fix his laptop. While fixing OP found a hidden folder in the laptop that contained some old pictures. Now the policy is to delete any personal content found on office computers but OP decided to go against the policy and shift the pictures to the laptop’s desktop. After fixing everything, he returned the laptop and went back to his desk.
A little while later the executive along with his wife who had come to the office for lunch approached OP at his desk and thanked him dearly for finding those pictures. The pictures were of their son who had passed away from leukemia at a very young age.
