Scruples

By chance, you see a confidential memo about staff cutbacks. Your boss has writen the names of three co-workers on it. Do you warn them?

That is a hard one Sue.  I was in that predicament recently, only it wasn't a memo I saw, rather, the president (for whom I am administrative assistant) TOLD me she was going to be letting someone go and the person being fired was someone I had become friendly with over the past couple of years.  It was very difficult for me but I felt I had no option but to keep my mouth shut, because if word had got back to the president she would have known it was me who leaked.

Something goes missing from your workplace, you know who took it, but because you where the last one there, you are being blamed.

Do you tell the boss that you know, or confront the guilty party.

BTW. Aussies hate dobbing ( telling on someone )

 This did happen to me, and the guilty one was a big rough character.

If it's something that would blow over, I'd probalby not dob.  But if I was facing the loss of my job over it, you bet I'd rat.  The culprit deserves it anyway.
