It is unethical to take home anything under the ownership of the company you are working for. From a car, which is very obvious, to even a ballpoint pen, it is just not acceptable. And if there is such a policy in place that allows you to do so, it must be ensured that no one employee is getting preferential treatmemt over the other.

That is exactly what happened in the story we have got for you guys today. Upon his daughter’s request, the country head agreed to give his old phone and laptop to her after receiving upgraded tech from the company, which was round the corner. However, when thr sales head, working under country head, asked OP if he could give his daughter his old phone and laptop as well upon upgrade, the request was met with a refusal. The country head called his subordinate entitled and behaved very rudely for requesting to do something he himself was about to do.

1. If OP read this title while typing it, he knows he is the AH.

2. OP works for company as their country head and every couple of years the staff gets a new phone and a laptop.

3. Not top-of-the-line, but they always get the latest available tech.

4. For this time, OP’s daughter asked if she could get his previous phone and laptop, and he agreed.

5. Now OP’s daughter is friends with the daughter of sales head. OP’s daughter told her friend she was getting her dad’s old phone and laptop.

6. Sales head’s daughter put a similar request before her dad, and when he asked OP if he could do it, he got met with rejection.

The math doesn’t add up at freaking all. The sales head requested OP for an approval to do something he was going to do. It was the same arrangement. While OP gave such a strong rationale for why his daughter should get his old tech, why doesn’t the same apply to his subordinate? This is discrimination.

I think the only reason why OP isn’t going for the CEO’s approval is that he knows he would get a refusal. OP is going to steal those products.

14. He is making a bank. He can buy all those products for his daughter without having a single dent on his budget.

15. Noting gives OP the right to do something that another employee of the same experience can’t.
