The Email That Costs You the Job
You find a spreadsheet at work that shows your company has been overcharging its oldest customers for years. Small amounts, thousands of people. If you send it to the regulator, you will be found out inside a month, and your name will follow you around the industry. Nobody else who has seen the file has done anything about it.
Do you send it?
Then ask
- How many months of savings would you need in the bank before you clicked send?
- Who at your work would lose their job alongside you? Do they get a vote?
- What have you already let slide because of who you would have to face?
The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
