Question:

Moral Dilemma:

Boss offers me a fairly reasonable raise.. In the same breath tells me 3 pretty good mates of mine keep blowing their project budgets out of the water causing the company heavy losses on those projects.. While our other work can easily absorb the cost it's not smart business practice to keep them on.. Which I agree with.. I just dislike going for the axe before asking the chicken why they aren't laying eggs..

So.. Do ya give your mates a heads up and risk the boss getting pissed off and not giving you extra money.. OR do you just sit pretty with extra money in your pocket..

tell the boss he has to do what needs doing. Then ask for a promotion.

It ain't a farkin charity.

No point ruining your own career/ income because your mates aren't up to it.

Not your fault if you can do it better.

You would just be ostracised is all..... dog LOL

Hmm.. yeah.. I just know in this climate they ain't gonna roll into new jobs too fast.. But I also had no idea they were going so far over budget on their jobs.

I might go with the deny any knowledge approach.. Not great mates.. Just fellas you've worked with for 5 years travelling a fair bit.. Kinda tend to get to know em fairly well..

Dog eat dog world, mates are good to stand by but if they stuff up constantly then that is their own problem not yours, business is business, leave the personal out of it. Had a similar issue once upon a time and it was a mutual unspoken agreement to never talk about it and possibly ruin a good friendship.
