MODERATORS
A newer employee was always complaining to management about our dept. at one point he wrote a long email that was mostly quotes from industry leaders saying how the industry despises our dept, that the changes we make are unnecessary. Our dept head received that email and showed it to me. It was pretty scathing.
So I looked up the quotes.
The employee had changed the quotes to fit their narrative. This is a no-no in their industry. The real quotes actually said that even though change is hard, it’s necessary and our dept is essential in making it go smoothly.
I wrote back to management, highlighted the changes they made to the real quotes, and suggested two things:
What they did may be ethically wrong.
How they did it in such a dumb way may be how they approach other aspects of their job. Maybe they aren’t good at it.
Never heard a peep from the employee again. They were asked to leave. I chortled when I saw their departure notice.
