I got a situation where I could save my manager or live up to the company policy. My manager screwed some numbers and it's a big deal. I found the mistake he did. I told him but he's not ready to accept his mistakes and he is indirectly hinting me not to ruin it. Should I just keep my mouth shut, favor the manager and hope he will return the favor in future ? or favor the company ?
no honor among thieves
You have a way to help both?
Don’t expect he’ll return the favor. But if he made the decision to keep quiet, and you don’t respect that decision, I hope your Leetcode is up to par. I guess it also depends on how big the mistake is. You’re at Amazon so I’m sure it won’t affect things in a long term and huge way (otherwise the decision will be more obvious).
Every role has accountability. Don’t do something which can haunt you in future
"return the favor"? He is not listening to "accept his mistake", why would he favor you for not ruining it. It seems it is just expected. You have done nothing wrong so far and presented your manager with the corrected information. Yet if he is not admitting there was a mistake, there would be nothing to ruin. You are being asked to be complicit. The company pays you, not the manager. Probably best to find another team that doesn't put you in compromising situations.
As a manager, they should not be hiding mistakes and lying to others in the company. Obviously this manager does not possess a growth mindset. That being said if you tell on your manager, and they aren’t demoted or fired, you will have to find another team or company to work for to continue progressing in your career.
You worded the question wrong. PROTECT the manager PROTECT YOURSELF. If you brought it to his attention and he chose to not do anything about it... What makes you think he won't take your down when it gets found out? There's no question here. There's only one option.
Depending on what the issue is, you may take on personal liability by not escalating the issue. Better to be safe and follow company protocol.
Absolutely. You did good by the manager by letting him choose to do the right thing. He chose poorly
Snitch on him and then take his place
Fuck the manager. I hate the word manager. Destroy him please. I hate all managers in the world. Fuck him!!!!! There are only two certainties in life: 1. The sun will rise from East 2. A manager will be an asshole "You can befriend a snake and a manager. Except sometimes the snake won't bite" !!!!!
Thats quite a broad generalisation...how many managers hurt you?
Show me on this doll where your manager hurt you.
