I was recently laid off (fired) from my job as Sr. NetAdmin at a small company. I felt my Director of IT should be honest. Call me silly. One examply – she hired her roommate as a Systems Analyist at $70 per hour, contract basis, for 15 months. Many knew the truth, but she denied it. When other lies were obvious, she outright denied them.
Maybe my mistake was that I could not let her put forth obvious dishonesty in front of others, without correcting her. If my boss is not honest, thenmust play along and be part of the dishonesty to keep my job? I felt I could not maintain my integrity and keep quite, when the obvious dishonesty flowed freely. I was fired.
Has anyone else been in this situation? Would you have let your ITDirector be dishonest without speaking up? Also, is it dishonest to hire your roommate under your direct command, with high pay, and then have this employee pick up your children from school? Any feedback would nice to hear. Thanks for your input. AverageJoeIT
