work rule- about being a tattle tail at work?what to do about it?

Answer 1

Whistle-blowing is fine and should be encouraged. If the employer retaliates, be prepared for a lawsuit against them. If it's not a serious whistle-blower case, and just an annoying peer, then you have options. First, confront that person with the consent and acknowledgement of other people, preferrably a manager if possible. This is to avoid any ungrounded allegations. Do it with witnesses. If that doesn't work, be more strategic and put them in a situation where you know they will be tempted to tattle, and when they run to tell, be sure that you did not do what they thought you did, and be able to prove it. This way you have a chance at discrediting that person. Generally it's best, however, not to sink to their level, as a tattle tale will usually destroy themselves eventually.

Answer 2

Unfortunately there is no 'rule' about being a tattletail at work. Some bosses encourage this while others couldn't be bothered. If you know this is going on and you know who it is, then stay away from them. Just be civil to them but do not encourage even a conversation with this person.
There's always ONE isn't there?

Answer 3

do not include that person in anything you do. I know it sounds mean but that is what my husaband had to do at his job. Everyone likes to play jokes on each other expect for one guy he told on them about them playing jokes on him bc they wanted to include him but he did nt like it and instead of telling them this he just went to the boss and blab what they did and they got in a little troulble so now when they go to do things like that they just do not include him in the games or anything they do.

Answer 4

Most employment policies encourage whistle-blowing. (Does that answer your question?)
