Fellow IT people

From a recent conversation with an IT department of a big company:

Coworker X: I have not had access to the directories of my department on the server since you changed permissions last week.
Help desk: Let me see. Your username was…?
Coworker X: UserX
Help desk: Ah, I see. We didn’t have your password on file in our big password database where we keep the passwods of all employees and that’s why we were unable to upgrade your permissions. What was your password again?

No comment. Emphasis mine.
