It's quite simple, would you take a stand and risk your job by exposing violations at both a local and an organisational level? I have two complaints i am going to make. One is directed at a current employee who, i believe, puts the wellbeing of others at stake, the other (i may do) is going to be directed at the organisation for making my job impossible and exposing me to bullying by their ineffective dealing with known staff problems. They are even trying to make me the 'fall' guy for an incident that occurred at work, which was elevated to a high category incident, which had to be reported to the Government and resulted in an internal investigation. I wasn't even present when the incident occurred, but my manager rang me up last week, told me they were angry, mis-read the incident report and as a result (i believe, although they won't state it explicitly), my contract is not being renewed. The team i am 'managing' has also been out to sabotage me due to their inability / reluctance to actually do their job properly. I was also denied a small employment opportunity with this organisation (my manager laughed at me) because, i think, they think i will be the easiest option to get rid of.
The problem is (is it a problem?), i am going to study this year, so need the income and think it would be easier to retain employment with this bunch, but then again, after everything that's happened, do i want to continue to work for them? And, even if i did, after blowing the whistle, they will always be watching me and will tell the team that manage the part-time staff not to call me (whilst being nice to my face). I know how they operate. I also worry about them giving me a reference and would like to make it clear that i at least deserve a mainly positive reference as i have given 100% to this job. Is there any way i can ensure a positive reference (they will only give verbal), or a way that i can approach this so that i can bring their abuses to their attention, and at the same time, get to move on with my reputation intact and getting the good reference that i deserve?
Then again, i can lodge my complaints (and will at least lodge the one against team member) and keep it all internal and walk away with my integrity and dignity intact.
I tell ya, how ruthless. They will sacrifice me to make their organisation look good. I may have to be prepared to take this all the way
