Overview
Officer leaves his desk while his computer is running. DG is taking a walk around, sees the computer on, tests it and finds it’s not pass-worded, gets into the email box, sends a mail to himself: “Our DG always acts stupid” and mails it to his own mail address.
DG gets to his office, opens his mail box and calls the HR Manager to read the message from the manager’s email address. The shocked HR Manager called the HOD of the manager. The shocked HOD called the manager to explain why he sent out the insult to the DG. In shock, the manager was shaking. In no time, the news had spread all over the establishment . . .
