What do you do about a peer who blatantly and publicly violates company policies? For example, someone who uploads a secret company document on GitHub so that it's easier for them to work from home. And then they share that document with you and ask you questions about it. On the one hand, you can be a dick about it (i.e., do the right thing and confront them) and pay a personal price. Alternatively, you can let it slide, pretend that nothing happened, and risk an escalation of inappropriate behavior in the future.

- triceratops 6y agoYou don't have to be a dick to confront them. "Dude...that's not cool. And if HR finds out you'll be in trouble." If they still don't take it down, escalate to your manager.
