The day I was criticized company-wide for taking the blame for leadership, I sat at my desk all afternoon.
The notification stated that I "modified core data without approval," but only one person knew the root password to that database— the Technical Director.
He was standing next to me, patting my shoulder and saying that it's normal for young people to make mistakes, and to be more careful next time.
I didn't say anything. Because I knew, arguing was useless.
The email he asked me to change, I had already deleted it, and the approval record on it was retracted by him.
He called me and said, "Just make a quick change, oral authorization," and I didn't record that call.
I thought I left nothing behind.
Until I remembered, the day he asked me to modify the data, I was working overtime, and the company required overtime approval.
In the "Work Content" section of the overtime request form, I casually wrote: "Modified database XX table XX field, changing value from A to B."
Below that, there was a line showing the timestamp and account automatically generated by the system when he approved—
I printed a screenshot of that overtime request form and placed it on the HR department's desk, saying this wasn't me modifying data without permission, this was overtime, and the overtime was approved by General Manager Wang.
HR looked at it, and the notice was withdrawn.
The notice was posted in the public display for three days, and when it was taken down, they tore off half of the words from the nearby company values poster.
Originally, the poster read "Honesty and Trustworthiness," but now only "Honest and Trust" remained.
I passed by and took a quick look, didn't take a photo, but I know someone did.
