One of our officers of a bank decided to quit, and I noticed that it looked like a lot of his file information was gone. I went to the regional manager and mentioned that I felt like there were files missing. He then turned to legal who contacted the person who left and he said he didn't take anything. So now the regional manager doesn't want to look bad and thinks that I cried wolf. He had another manager go look at the files and she said the same thing that it does appear that stuff is not there. However, the files were never in any order and so I can't say with a definate 100% that I know there are files missing. I don't want my regional manager to look bad, but why am I feeling bad for at least bringing it to his attention?

Ok, the bank is ethical, I'm not going to quit my job over something like this. I don't just get up an run when there are tough times. I want to work through this and in the end keep my boss looking good and myself looking good. Please consider this when answering. Thanks.

In LOTS of office matters, you just can't win, no matter what you do.
If you look good, work hard, toe the line, follow rules, the other employees think you're making them look bad. -- and, vice versa.
It is very hard (when your salary and livelihood is at stake) to detach from what all those other people are doing or saying. But, learning to do this and concentrate on your tasks is one of the hardest and most stressful aspects of work. The emotional energy to worry about these details should be saved by you for more important life-decisions. A huge part of work life is out of your control, no matter what you do.
Cover yourself by stating the truth, and let the rest go, and don't invest your emotions in it, if possible.

You did the right thing. You addressed the problem and took it to the right person. Now it is their turn to make the decision on it. If they don't follow through and investigate they are the ones that will be at fault. If it still worries you, start looking for another job. It is not worth it for you to carry this around. If you feel that this bank is unethical move on NOW and i mean in a hurry. They don't seem to be too concerned and i would leave before you are put in a more difficult position than you are now.

Maybe you should stop before they flush you for not playing along. If this bugs you (as it does me) it is time to get another job just so you will be able to pretend that dishonest things won't happen there just like everywhere. At least you won't conciously know about them at the new place.

You did your job and reported the situation. Now, they need to get off your back and do their jobs too.

You did what was wise under that situation, Now it is no longer your problem, go on to something else.
