Yeah.
You report these things verbally in person, not on written media. This has two advantages: your employer can decide to investigate or forget about it, and you can judge whether you are getting a bad response in person during your report, and act accordingly.
You make a report in writing if you could personally be held liable, and you want your disagreement on the record. But doing so is a burning your bridges moment.
Not quite sure how you handle this if you are remote...
- isilofi 3y ago> You report these things verbally in person, not on written media. I think this is dangerous. If push comes to shove, you will not have anything to defend yourself with, because of no documentation.
- ajb 3y agoI'm not sure what scenario you have in mind, in which the thing they have been annoyed by would be useful as a defence.
- isilofi 3y agoIf you have something to report, usually you are somehow involved. The company might then try to pin responsibility on you for doing the bad thing and trying to verbally blackmail them.
- ajb 3y agoWell, that's why I said you need things in writing in the case where you could be personally liable for the act. Normally this discussion arises before the bad thing has been done, or if you weren't involved and found out about it. If you in fact committed it on their behalf without telling them first, then you are actually the bad guy.
