Should I tell about my co-worker?

It's really a hard question,I think the answer will depends on the country you are living,the way of people there thinking about things.I do believe you have to consider your co-worker's idea,unless you have decided to quit job.And I believe a saying,"if you can't change others,you have to change youself."

I think it depends on the behavior.. if it involves safety of the consumer or of workers.. then of course the answer's obvious, as I'm sure you already know.. If it's taking home a pen or some staples, I wouldn't get involved with that in any way, but would only set a good example by never doing it myself. If it's large scale theft.. well, first of course I'd pray which has been mentioned and which you also likely already know.. It could be the Lord could/would bring it to light without you having to be involved! Or, He may lead you otherwise.. all the best!

Talk to that person first. Tell them that, for example, their horseplay not only violates policy but increases your own workload or any other observance that is legitimate. A good manager will see what is going on and take action unless they are lazy or don't care. If it affects your work you'll either have to accept it or do something about it. What will happen if they find out you told the manager? Is it so bad you would not be able to do your job or make it a hardship to be there? You cannot impose your morality on others but you can set a good example. If their behavior is merely irritating or offensive and doesn't affect your work or the company's profits it's best to keep quiet and let the manager do his or her job.

Boy, that's a tough one to call Hoseasmate. I do not know that you are "required" as a Christian to go around as a tattle tale unless of course someone else is being harmed or being placed in danger. OTherwise I'd say let it go - it'll bite them in the butt eventually.

You pray about it and of course keep standing for what is right. Do not be afraid if they come back to you as long as you know that what you did is right and you know that God is at your side. As you plan on how you do it. I suggest as well that you talk to this co-worker of yours and tell him/her that what their doing is not good (but of course do it in the most polite and kind way). Then if he/she don't listen.. that's the time to tell your boss about it. I know this is easier said that done co's standing for the right thing is really no easy at all. I hope and pray that you continue to always remember WWJD (what would Jesus do) with times like this.

When I was in your position before, I told the manager all the violations of my workmates. That's the difference of being a Christian. We live here not to please people, but to please God. Still, I would suggest you to pray for this.

You should as part of your company member. You should tell the manager about what you saw, and let the manager decided the action of it. Anyway, it is part of your responsibility to protect the company's profit, and not to destroy it. So, if you can do the good samaritan, you should tell your manager about this matter.

First and foremost bring it to God in prayer this unethical activity of your co worker. Ask the Holy Spurt to give you the courage to talk with your co worker and your motivation of sharing your thoughts with him/her. Tell your co worker straight of what she/he is doing.

In my opinion you should talk to the person with the illegal activities. As an ethical person that's what I would advise you, to be clear about your intentions and give them the choice to stop before you tell it to the boss. As a person that works in a company though you might need to be more diplomatic with that. I am not sure if you want to get in the middle because at the end they might sort things out with the boss but you will always be the person that told it and you'll make your life difficult. Not getting involved could be beneficial for you, but it depends on how serious are those activities that the coworkers do. If it affects the company and you then you can get involved and have a conversation qith the boss before confronting them to see how it would be managed as an incident.

In my point of view, if what they are doing is wrong, then it should be stopped. However, you might as well try to advise and convince them not to continue those bad deeds before you actually report to the manager. At least give them a chance. If they won't listen to you then reporting to the manager should proceed. However, you have to know your manager well. Because most of the times, the senior management of an organization can also be involved with these ethically wrong actions. Just be cautious not to backfire on you.

I could understand your plight. I also don't like the people who like to play tricks on others. But in my opinion, you should use other methods to stop them instead of telling to your manager. I don't think your manager will do much about it. What your manager needs is the worker's hardworking and unity. He may punish the worker who plays tricks on you, but it doesn't mean he will fire him. We shouldn't use the methods as like we are only childrem. Think more and find a better way to solve it. I know you could undergo the plight.

Tattling is not a Christian responsibility. Unless it directly impacts you personally, your ability to do your job or workplace safety, then I would mind my own business. Let go and let God. Best wishes! :-)

Yes! It's always a dilemma to stand on our faith. When don't join the waywardness of your companions they would angry at you. You being indifferent from their misdeeds could be identified as dangerous from their group and consequently they would hate you. But stand on your ground. Do what you think is right. First, tell the person concern...convince him. If they still persist in doing wrongs tell your manager than keeping silent and being labelled as accomplice to their misdeeds...good luck!

First of all - PRAY. I would keep your options open in looking for another job. If you speak out, you could lose your job. It is risky to do one or the other. Perhaps you can find a way to help the manager discover what this co-worker is doing that is not ethical without you directly pointing it out to him. Sometimes, an indirect approach works best. If it is putting others at risk or is truly not ethical, then not only as a Christian but it is your civil duty to speak out. I spoke out at a daycare, the daycare was neglecting the care of the babies and not treating the children properly. They were violating some basic regulations. None of the other caregivers were saying anything. Some just ignored the situation and others were looking for another day care to work at. Finally I said something. I lost my job and then, three weeks later, the day care was shut down. So, PRAY for the right timing and the right decision. In the meantime, look for a job where you can work with God's ethics and principles. May God Bless you.

I can see your predicament, either way could prove problematic for you, how approachable is your manager? A reputable manager will listen to your concerns and will take action, and hopefully he will not bring your name into question. I hate the way colleagues gang up on someone who won't follow their example, it's bullying in a way, at the end of the day you should be able to go to work, without hassle and earn your wage. Work is tough enough without having mindless, selfish colleagues to make your working life even more intolerable.

I am somewhat curious about what you mean by prohibited activities. I may get the idea. Does it have to do with stealing, harassment, fraud, etc? What kind of work environment you are in? Do others do some inappropriate acts that tend to get ignored? Has there been violation of some protocol and managers/supervisors pretend that something did not happen? Are you in a managerial position or a regular staff? I personally would not think that I like office work environment, but I had worked with few coworkers in a treatment facility for adolescents. I had done a share of informing my supervisor about inappropriate act like using other employee's password to access internet. It was speculated that this guy went around administration building and got a hold of a note that contained a password (speculation). Often times, I tolerate something that relates with common weakness or understandable situation. With the same treatment facility, I worked graveyard or overnight shifts mostly. I'd noticed coworkers falling asleep or sleeping, while they were not supposed to. I did not report it since significant amount of overnight employees had been somewhere from dozing off to fully asleep. I'm not going further on this one. Going back to a bunch of questions that may not be my business, it depends on situations or work environment. Hopefully, you can work properly where you work.

Telling is not a sin.. so tell if it is bad.

Hi if it some thing that not company policy let your manger know it, now if you have worker dating a company can not tell people not to do it, big discount stores got in trouble for trying to stop workers from dating they no longer do it,now got to keep regleion out of the work place every one has differnt views of ethics ok have a good day.

Hi friend, sad to hear about your situation. You are not taking part in your co worker's activity so you are not in bad side. It is really hard to complain about a person without proof, so try your maximum to find out a proof before complaining about her.

I think you are already involved, because the other co-workers are nagging you. Do not fall into this trap. Use wisdom now. You can speak out - only to the accused co-worker. I do not think it's a good idea to discuss this person with the other co-workers. The wheel spins, and tomorrow it might be you they're discussing. It looks as if you really want to see righteousness prevail, and to see that happen, it will be right to talk to this person in private. Tell your co-worker that you know about the unethical practices and that you fear that he/she might loose his/her job if it continue and the bosses find out about it. Be genuine in your approach when you ask this person to stop. It might even be good to tell him/her that you consider the matter confidential, but that you urge him/her to re-consider what he/she is doing.
