In general, it is not the best idea to break company policy, but with that being said, I think most people have run into situations where breaking the rules was inevitable, such as bending the rules in order to stop a bigger situation from happening. An example of this was whenever I was a manager at a restaurant, there was a specific way that we were supposed to stock our inventory, but the way was taking too long, and so I found a different way to stock inventory, which would cut down the time of stocking, and it prevented us from getting backed up on stocking the inventory.
