When you do something as requested, then it get shown to people, then they have a big argument, then you get told to make changes, against your better judgment, and against your strongly worded email warnings, then several months later you get told to put it back to how it originally was.
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.
At least you weren't reprimanded for making the changes. I ALWAYS save code, because this happens a lot more often than you'd want to think.

That’s why if this happens I tend to keep the original code in the source safe. The whole block commented or just with changed functions/class names and comment “for a future use”.

you mean this happens and you don't get the blame for making the change (regardless of evidence) sounds like heaven

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away I was involved in producing reports. One particular user would always come to me with requests which made absolutely no sense whatsoever. The outcome would be that I would create a report for them, which would be of use, and then the next request for a non-report would come in from them a few weeks later. So one day I decided to give them exactly what they were asking for and which would be completely useless - I never had a report request from them again, I think they are still reading it trying to make sense of the results... Of course nowadays I am much more professional and would never do anything like that again... :-O

I have stacks of evidence. Complete with video of me jumping up and down screaming at the top of my lungs saying how bad it is. I'm still blamed for it.... My other job title is "Scape Goat".
That sounds more like real life

The "I told you so" can be quite satisfying ... it depends how hard the change is to make and reverse, really. Fortunately in this company I generally get listened to if I have a real objection to some part of a request, and don't have to write the wrong version in the first place.

Large and old organisation. Decisions taken in the wrong place and by the wrong people who are remote from the system and after listening to the wrong people who often have their own agenda. It can be painful at times.

Isn't this why version control is in use? ;P

Bloody thing hasn't gone live yet. Just several iterations of what they loosely claim to be testing.

Version Control doesn't necessarily have to imply live/production/golden source code. If you went through a lot of my code base, you'd find stuff checked in on branches, that in a lot of cases never goes live. I've also got examples of branches that sit for years before a request to implement the code happens. The only real downside to it all, is occassionally there will be merge conflicts that become tough to figure out. :)
