Mr Smith has been working hard for the last ten years in MarksPush Limited, and he has requested frequently his immediate boss and other concerned officers to consider himself for the promotion. Even though some other junior workers are promoted, the promotion requests of Mr Smith are always ignored. Finally, Mr Smith decided to resign since he thought he was not fairly treated and therefore not promoted.

He has secured a similar job in XYZ Limited, one of MarksPush Limited's competitors, based on his qualification and competency. Mr Smith understands that the IT department of MarksPush Limited is not efficient, and there are no defined procedures for the account and passwords of terminated employees.
