Would You Get Your Boss Fired if You Absolutely have the Goods ?

My boss is a jerk. I need some advice.

I have always been my own boss.

Until the past couple years. Took the easy money.

Background on my Boss.

He is a convicted federal prisoner that did 4 years federal time.

He has never paid his taxes and owes almost two million.

I did a paid background check it all came up.

Problem is he hired me even invited me to work there.

Current Situation:

He is toxic. Runs the place like a prison. It’s all he knows.

He has wild mood swings. You never know what mood he will be in.

He has his snitches everyone else gets nothing.

He is a bully and obviously high and drinks every day.

Problem is he is in a position that strictly bans convicts.

It’s a sensitive position. No I don’t want the job.

If I let it slip he is gone.

He torments old people. Plays one against the other.

Problem is I’m not a snitch. I am struggling with this.

Would you get your boss fired, if you absolutely could ?

Never nark, you'll always be known for it.

If you can't convince someone of how a workplace needs to be calmly and sensibly, you need to leave. If you feel you're replaceable, and someone my nix you, do yourself a favor and leave.

Sounds like a male version of my last boss, sans the prison time.

Anonymous tip to the higher ups?

If you don't need or want the job, why are you still there? The guy will screw up on his own, just leave on good terms.

Your boss will eventually get his karma. Don’t be the one to deliver it, though. You’ll pick up some of your own.

Leave the report with HR anonymously

Looks like he has had this coming for some time.

Enjoy the new management

I'd argue assisting in hiding crucial info and letting a bully be a bully is bad Karma.

Evil by inaction.

I'm reminded of a song lyric.......meet the new boss, same as the old boss.....

do what you think is right, and be damn sure you can live with what you decide.

Sounds like a hostile workplace environment. Eventually someone will sue the company and get a big settlement.

Just an opinion....

You have taken the time to pay for a background check on him, you know he is toxic and between you and me he appears to own WAY too much real estate in your head.

Get out of the situation entirely, do it on good terms and go back to leading life again without worrying so much about him, the employees or the company.

All that will take care of itself, in time.

if you do nothing - you are perpetuating the problem

you claim that you " could " solve an issue that affects many people

but ....................

hear is a hint :

" snitches get stiches " and other idiotic threats - are just that threats :

designed to cow people like you into allowing abberant behaviour to go on unchecked

your boss has made his bed - anf lied < pun > to get into it

what intrigues me - is how the situation has somehow gone unresolved till now

Which had better be a HUGE settlement, because that "someone" won't be able to find gainful employment in that career field ever again...

Touché, Justification in action.

Screw the boss.

To the OP, if you do — be careful what the ex convict does in retaliation.

Just go to the library and send a anonymous text to whomever is his boss with some of the info he can look up. He may be in good with whomever is running the place or with the people purchasing the products or services. Maybe it will get back to him and he will start treating people a little more civil then, since he has no clue who has the info. for this to work, nobody can know you did the investigating or he will figure it out. Put info in there that nobody knows you have gotten.

If he owns the company then everyone will be out of work if he loses sales of the product/service.

Means nothing without context... lots of people convicted of 'federal crimes' that I don't consider crimes.

He has never paid his taxes and owes almost two million.

None of your business.

Was this part of your job requirement? Or were you just snooping? If so, bad on you.

Find a new job.

I appreciate all the replies.

Don’t need the job. It’s a hobby I enjoy.

I could take it or leave it.

Others I care about are being negatively affected.

His taxes matter because of the sensitivity job.

The potential for fraud is tremendous.

I can’t go in too much detail.

However, your replies matter to me.

I am taking everything in consideration...

a reply to: whyamIhere

Do what you feel is best.

I usually stay to myself, but honestly i'm quite suprised by so many telling you to just leave the situation.

I don't understand why you're not supposed to take care of issues at your workplace, yet we expect it from law enforcement or politicians.

We don't get it, but I'm not sure we deserve it. If we the citizens were taking care of our part it would be easier to expose their fraud. Some might even find purpose beyond themselves.


Karma is not immediate or exacting its a grand scale concept. It probabaly wont touch this ahole.

If he is that bad let karma take care of it. Karma pays dividends. Just walk away. Snitches get stitches.
