If we live in the age of the digital era, issues will not be analog anymore. Of course, in the digital era, we have to face digital issues. An interesting event happened at my factory the day before yesterday.

As you know this is the era of 5g, although, we don’t have the facility of 5g. We have been using a 4g connection yet here at my factory but happening belongs from a digital perspective.

Our factory is situated far from the city and it is approx. 40 km far from our head office but we are digitally connected. There is nothing but CCTV cameras at every corner of the factory premises.

Our MD who is actually an owner of our company keeps an eye on each activity that is happening at the factory. He doesn’t come to the factory daily whereas he comes to the factory once in a while.

factory daily whereas he comes to the factory once in a while.

Even sometimes, he asked us what we were doing then. After watching the CCTV footage. Usually, he does call us whether he is within Pakistan or out of the country for a business tour.

The story starts here, When MD came to the office day before yesterday, he saw the huge number of color pages laying on the printer. He became furious about who did it. Nobody affirmed it at head office.

Two sets of 30 pages printed out there. He called the IT guy and let him know about the mess. Who did it? Let me know as soon as possible. It was a set of rubbish papers.

IT guy started to work on it. When he looked into this matter, he replied to the MD someone sent the printing job from the smart cell phone from the Wi-Fi connection of the factory around 8 pm.

IT guy came to the factory the very next day and let us know about that happening. When he worked here he got it knew that password had been leaked. The number of labors using this Wi-Fi.

IT guy took the plant manager into confidence and called a couple of laborers at random to investigate this matter. By the way, He has taken the log files from the Printer that is connected to the Wi-Fi.

If he doesn’t catch the labor red-handed who sent the print job, he will have to pay a penalty. Not because of the print job but how the Wi-Fi password got viral among the labors too.

This story is to be continued….

Let’s see what happens ahead. If I get further updates about it, I will write the second version of the story. He could not figure it out yet. Let’s hope for the best ahead.
