how far would you go to show loyalty?

Another non-leo related post 🙂

Ok you guys I have a scenario for you....

You have to pretend you are one of the employees in this situation, ok?

So you have this awesome boss. She bends over backwards for you and your entire group. Going out of her way to find answers to impossible questions. Not only that, but people come from all over the building to find her because they know she has all the answers. Always takes your concerns to heart. Whatever.... she is just always there for you when you feel like you are half assing your job. Ok?

So, work is a little slow at the moment. The company is offering you voluntary time off if you finish early. After awhile you're running low on funds because you've taken too much advantage of this limited time off opportunity. So you start wishing you had work.

You're boss (being the awesome chick she is) does her best to FIND you work so that you can stay and get paid without dying of boredom. She finds another department that is badly in need of some help and gives you a brush up training on their job so that you can help them. And that department is grateful.

So now you're doing someone elses job and getting paid. She's just awesome, right?

Soon she calls for a group meeting. She is concerned because one of the other supervisors has just gotten fired for letting her employees help another department. Because they weren't properly trained. KEEP IN MIND, in depth training isn't really required because their job is super easy and impossible to screw up. Someone got fired anyway.

So, now she tells you that the department manager is investigating and will be meeting with you alone to ask if you're boss had you doing someone elses work.

She tells you it's entirely up to you what you want to say to the manager.

She also tells you she is hoping you will say you had no part in this. But she will not hate you for telling the truth.

She tells you if she is caught she will get fired.

The manager finally sits down with you and asks if you were involved. What would you say?

Would you tell the truth out of fear of being fired yourself? Or would you back her up like she has backed you up in the past?

Haha!!

My longest post EVER lmao! Sorry about that you guys 🙂

If someone stood up for me in that way I would lie- I mean, if she gets fired you're out of a great boss and if you get fired at least you know you paid that help forward...complicated- good luck to you 🙂

I would probably try to come up with all of the reasons why I was right to work in that other department and how my experience was used as a substitute for training. It's ridiculous that she would be fired especially because if the company were so freaked out it, they should have developed and implemented the necessary policies and mandates that would make it difficult to switch between departments. Either way, I'm sure there is a way that you could sidestep the question...or play stupid..."I didn't know that I couldn't switch?" :-) Best of luck!

I would raise one hand in the air, put the other on a bible, stand in front of a judge....a priest...or whomever....and swear to God that I don't know what the heck they are talking about!

(I am also a boss of my own company, sometimes we HAVE to investigate, but we really don't want to fire anyone, we would rather you lie, and just never do it again)

That is actually very easy.. i would show her the same loyalty she showed me. She is an awesome boss and i would give her that. Definitely wouldn't sell her out. yeah i might get in trouble.. but she was trying to help me get paid cuz I SCREWED UP. The least i could do.

I lied for her without a 2nd thought. I figured this was easy too. But, not everyone feels the same way out of fear of losing their job. Because of this reason...

(example: cameras, narcs)

Which I doubt. Why interview us then?

..it almost sounds like they may just be gunning for your immediate boss's head...

Training is a big deal where I work. The way it was explained to me is that if you screw up after training then you can't say you didn't know what you were doing. They have the signed papers to prove you took the class on it. Still lame I know, if it's easy.

Thanks you guys.

Yes, I do roni. Just thinking out loud. And thank you.

*** They have the signed papers to prove you took the class on it.

Wow. How can you get anything done when you are surrounded by all those tight little asses? 😉

I don't know what I would do. Do you know what other co-workers are going to do? It is a bit like "the prisioner's dilemna".

I would lie since she helped out. Always have a back up though cause eating in a soup kitchen aint nice yo,lol.

LS, Most of us lied for her. A couple of them didn't. And yes, management is TIGHT

Daemon, fast food is definitely on my resume! I'm not worried about my job though. In that case, they would have to fire half the employees in the building. They are after the supervisors.

You know what I want to know? Which DXP employee is responsible for placing the ads in the posts? If you look at the first post, there is an appropriately placed ad that works in tandem with the subject line. It's like this with most posts lmao!! Damn virgo placements....

Wrongful Termination Motivate Employees Firing Employees How to Layoff Employees

Well, it's made a liar out of me...it's gone now, nevermind lol

::pretends this never happened::

sunny, I don't know about Cancer sun because a lot of signs like to read. I just notice it's especially so with some who have strong mutable placements. You said you had Virgo moon, that's why I asked 🙂
