[quote=Anonymous]I did analysis and realized my manager was hiding our Software being late to his boss and was paying for an engineer to do "fake" testing in Europe on SW that wasn't even close to being released. They held a routine Risk meeting with my manager and his boss and asked for everyone to list risks. I mentioned the SW not being on schedule.

&*$#%!%!?%!%!%! - the room went silent...

After the meeting, my manager came outside my cube and was literally yelling so loudly at me for mentioning this. Everyone within 50 ft could hear him, including this young engineer who sat across from me. He had also realized the manager was lying and the 2 of us out of 20 people were the only ones who refused to "go along".

Luckily, the boss was grateful to me for exposing this to him and called in ethics. The manager got transferred to a proposal in an off site trailer as his punishment for lying and for screaming at me for letting the big boss know the SW was late. I have no idea why he wasn't fired.

A few days later, the young engineer had a strange accident and died from a head injury in his home. For a minute, I had a thought that maybe the manager was involved, then I chided myself for even going there.

The next week, two other engineers individually stopped by my office and quietly asked me "you don't think John had anything to do with his death do you?".
