I brought up an ethical concern at work and I might end up being the one that takes a hit for having done so. I wasn’t kind about my concern, and I was brutally honest as to why I was ethically concerned about an individual’s behavior.  It’s never pretty to have someone second guess your ethical nature and after I brought up the concern the person I confided in told the person I was ethically concerned about.  She threatened me with her power, I’m sure she did so in anger.

Gee, I wonder why I was ethically concerned.

Either way I have decided two things.

If I don’t get stomped for speaking my mind, I am going to reward myself and allow myself to have that college graduation ring I was looking at.

If I do get stomped I am going to reconsider my future plans extensively.

I wish I could say that this connumdrum has me wishing I had kept my mouth shut, but it doesn’t.  Sometimes you have to stand up and voice your concerns, if for no other reason, so that something bad doesn’t happen…even if something bad eventually happens to you because you are unfairly punished for speaking up.

Is there a nice way to say you find someone potentially un-ethical?  Is there?  And is there a nice way to state why you find a person un-ethical?  If there is, I sure can’t think of it.
