She's been calling my boss to get her sister into the company and on my team for months now (I don't want to hire her; she's interviewed but has issues that may conflict with her being able to do her job). Unfortunately, he wants me to hire her. How do I report this, and to whom so that I stop being bugged by my boss?

Answer 1

If it is state government call the attorney general, if it federal call the US attorney's office.

Answer 2

This answer is probably only valid in the UK, so apologies if not relevant - the government department/authority should have a whistleblowing policy, to allow concerns about the conduct of their employees to be reported. It should be on the website of the organisation, or alternatively there may be another complaints/reporting procedure.

Alternatively, contact her boss and explain the situation - they might be able to receive your report or otherwise tell you the correct person or organisation to contact.

Answer 3

Make it clear to your boss what your concerns are about hiring the person and then have him/er call the government employee's manager or even the regional manager.

Answer 4

I would make it very clear to your supervisor why you don't want this person to work for you or with you. I would also report this activity to the supervisor of the government employee. I believe that you would be protected from retribution by whistleblower laws.

Answer 5

ROTFLOL!!!

You people defraud the taxpayers by kickbacks, and you pad the bills like its going out of style, and NOW your whinning?

Get a "real job" and quit robbing us, the tax payers!

I wish you well...
