Actually that is exactly how the chain of command works, you bring the issue to your immediate supperior FIRST, if you deem im it nessesary then you escalate to HIS immediate supperior and so on and so forth.

@ThePrimeTimeagen 5 ай бұрын

that is literally opposite of the chain of command. you bring it to your superior, and _they_ bring it to theirs. if you skip level you can cause issues

@xxapoloxx 5 ай бұрын

@@ThePrimeTimeagen No, you are assuming your Superior will act how he is expected to. This is not always the case. For instance. You bring an issue to your superior "Hey i think this is illegal and we should not do it". He says "Keep it hush between us". Then it is your responsability to go to his supperior and inform him of the situation. Including the fact you you adviced your superior.

@@xxapoloxx Skipping is pretty much never good. Some places do skip level meetings but how much that does who knows. If your superior ignores something that's where whistle blower programs come in. Sometimes even going straight to the whistle blower program makes sense. Just keep records. Employment lawyers like records.

@davidjulitz7446 5 ай бұрын

@@actually_it_is_rocket_science At some point you have to skip levels if you really want to get heard. If your direct superior is ignoring the issue, you have to escalate. The alternative is to shut up or not even bring this issue to light, which is probably not what we want in theory. But yes, the reality is not theory and you should really think twice, depending on who your superior and their superiors are. Another option is simply looking for a new job.

@Telhias 4 ай бұрын

@@actually_it_is_rocket_science How is level skipping never good? From my perspective it is pretty much always good. I can always ignore what I deem unimportant. However knowledge of the situation at the bottom rungs of the company is hard to gage from on high. Once your company grows large enough, you become unable to individually know each of your employees. As such you no longer know who is actually doing their job. I cannot personally vet every employee's performance but someone more higher up? Easily. If a middle manager is sabotaging the company for his own benefit then I would like to know and deal with it. A company that grows without being carefully pruned from corruption will inevitably grow to be like Carta in this article. Once enough of these corrupt individuals fail to the top you will no longer be able to do anything and they may even oust you from your position for trying. Whistle blower programs are kind of like a nuclear option. A company should be capable of solving its own problems from within. Unless you are talking about the internal whistleblower compliance programs in which case they are either unnecessary (if a company is well functioning) or a joke (if it is hopelessly corrupt).

@andythedishwasher1117 5 ай бұрын

I think we only do better when we have to because that's the only way our nature ever transforms. Nature introduces needs so that it can move things. When you go rah rah hard enough in the right place, that's your rebellious nature creating needs that move things. Executives all of a sudden NEED to cover their asses and divert massive resources to legal battles, for example. Sometimes, in order to succeed at something like that, you have to go rah rah in a way that will get a large number of people to agree with you in order to create sufficient need for movement. The guy might sound a bit preachy, but I get what he's saying. Not often somebody in a position of power calls out the power structure, but I'd like to see it happen more often, so I'd be inclined to support his effort.

The Mads Mikkelsen movie The Hunt is a perfect example of how an innocent action (that wasn't even made by the main character) can lead to someone being ostracized from a community even after proof of their innocence comes to light. People like to believe the worst...I guess. Also "Snakes in Suits" the book by Robert D. Hare is a great peek into the sheer number of psychopaths who end up in higher management jobs and how to pick them out by observing their habits.

@mikapeltokorpi7671 5 ай бұрын

Those options are quite cheap in Board/CEO/CTO level. If the share price is $1 dollar, your option is ¢10. At least for Tesla (insider trading history) or any other multinational corporation. For no listed company valuation is quite an arbitrary market cap of the company divided by the number of shares. In one of my previous employers the value of Tre company (and the options/shares) crashed 80% last year. Talking about Tesla: their $6 Billion (forward looking) tax deferment means, that top management is planning to exercise about $30 Billion worth of their stock options this year ($6 Billion is federal tax rate 21% for the difference to current market value and the options).

Who would follow on a mission which could end up killing you if you are unlucky? Seriously, we may not be tribal people anymore, but a lot of stuff in our brains are still wired like that.
