This is a throw away account because I have a group photo of my co-workers and I on my main account. And that would give away where I am.
Anyway, I am trying to figure out if I should tell on my boss or not. I work for a midsize company in the Midwest and I'm the assistant manager. Recently, I was looking at timesheets from last year to see if how much time I put in when I noticed my boss didn't put some sick time in.
She was out with COVID last January and she didn't put in one day of sick time. I then started going through old texts when she called out and found 3 other days in which she was out of work and no sick time was put in. There are 8 days in which she didn't put time in. It could be more but I am not sure exactly how many days she was out with COVID, but it is at least 5. She is salary and so she got paid no matter what she put in. She also used all of her PTO so she got 8 extra PTO days. The crazy thing is she is always gets pissed off when people call out sick and was upset when people took more than 40 hours of sick time.
I asked my father-in-law for advice about this (he has been in HR for 30+ years) and since I am trying to get a manager job, he told me not to move forward with it. He said even though Whistleblowers shouldn't be penalized, they do sometimes.
I can't go to my bosses manager with this because they are kind of close and I know it won't lead to anything. Plus she will bring me into the conversation with my manager and that would be awkward. My only option would be the “hotline.”
I'm sure most of you will tell me to reach out to someone but just want to hear all options. If she was stealing money, I would def tell on her. I mean, she is stealing, just time theft. She ran out of PTO at the end of the year so she wouldn't have been able to take 8 days of PTO.
Thanks in advance. I also posted this in work advice
Edit: I do not want her job. For a first time manager, it's too busy.
