Ugh, I just got into a big argument with a #WhiteLivesMatter guy at work.

are they a confirmed white supremist?

either way, chum1, you have the right to wet your beak too.

I read that in the Spanish accent you had when you thought it and then imagined you sitting back and puffing on your cigar.

Well there has never been a hood within reach when I was around....

See, because once I say something to her, she can no longer feign ignorance and the scheme is over.

What's the downside to this? (The upside is you perhaps feel like you're doing the right thing?)

the downside is pretty obvious to normal people, michigan.  this is the reason that your boss hates you.

but she doesn't necessarily know that chum1 knows she is trying to feign ignorance. So he could feign ignorance in kind. Worst case (in her eyes) is her evil(?) plot(?) is innocently foiled. Or she just says, "yeah, give me the report as is".

like i said, you don't understand how normal people think.

For all I know, there's a good reason for a scheme. And, assuming there is a scheme, she thinks it has value. Otherwise, she wouldn't do it. So, she'd be losing something she values.

Do you respect and/or trust her?

Not any more than absolutely necessary.

I'm certain there aren't any moral implications beyond not being completely honest.

[chum1]

I'm just going to email her what she asked for and say, "I don't think it's what they want, but we'll see." That way, I'll feel like I've suggested that she follow up with me while still leaving her freedom not to.

[Institutional Control]

A senior manager and BFF of company owner asked me for a report to send to a client. I only had partial info, so I asked for clarification on the additional info from her. The info I got was completely unhelpful. And I independently discovered that supplying a thorough report is something she may not want to do. So, here's the thing. I don't know if she is intentionally trying to obfuscate the truth or she just isn't aware of a mistake made by someone else in my company. Like, it really could be either scenario and I have no idea which it is. If she isn't aware of the mistake, she would want know about it. On the other hand, if she's trying her damnedest to cover up something, I don't want to press her on it and get involved in that kind of mess.

Right now, I'm thinking that I may try to say that I don't think the client will be satisfied with the report as is, which is true, and try to feel out the situation a little further.

This has a Weekend at Bernie's feel to it. 

[puniraptor]

blow the lid off this thing, and you are a front runner for employee of the month, chum

[Fedor]

So let me get this straight, there is a clear moral choice where the client gets what they expect and paid for but you are hesitant because you don't want to step on your co-workers toes because they may be running some sketchy deal?

Emails are permanent records but phone calls are ephemeral, like smoke in the wind.

No, it's just a disagreement about how to do something and each side has an equal stake/claim.

That is easy, send her two reports.

By her, I mean, the co worker.

Yeah but then he would be exposing the fact that he knows about the thing that she might be pretending to not know about.
