My history in IT has been that of circumventing corporate policy for fun and profit:

Scraping the company mainframe for billing data: Increased rev by $1 million fixing accounts incorrectly billed.

Compiling the scrapped data into MySQL: $3 million in lost inventory found.

Waiting 6 months for a site visit so I could tell the COO directly that any employee could dump all the credit cards in our database: Priceless.
