Ethics Example

I told you about work ethics and honesty before. 

I value work ethics and honesty a lot. I like to explain it with an example if you let me. It was the July of 2017 when I got transferred to the Research Department. I immediately started the conceptual design of the research data warehouse, but I still was thinking about my old department. I had to leave a serious amount of work behind untouched because the transfer was on short notice. We did not have enough time for training the workforce, and as I had to carry out the majority of the critical work, especially for the last seven years, I feared that the Company Accounts Statistics would not be published on time, even maybe not at all. So I discussed this with my department head and explained to him that the ethical behavior would be to help and support my former colleagues until the publication deadline. I could not be physically there, and I decided to prepare a SAS project that would automatically carry out database controls. I also wrote an Excel VBA add-in to help the users work on individual data forms in cleaning and correcting data automatically. Thus, I worked for my former department from afar, for two and a half months. With the solution, I came up with, they could manage to deliver and publish the work before the deadline. It was an amazing experience for me,  and for my colleagues and a huge relief. The CB's credibility once again was saved. 

Later on, when a long-awaited project involving the collaboration with the Statistics Office for the preparation and publication of the Company Accounts Statistics, my colleagues were able to use my SAS projects, and VBA codes in designing the shared database. These codes, and my design criteria, were also used in building the in-house Big Data Platform, which is still used by the Research Departments.
