I was on the inside, and yesterday a foreman told me I could go home 2 hours early, the boss was gone, and I could get my pay. It would be just between you and me he said.

My situation: leave early, bill for hours I was not there, allow my boss to think I was still on the job when I was not, make up an excuse for why I was not on the job if it came to that, and more.

Now, I felt as uncomfortable as a 3-legged donkey in a hop scotch competition.

I did not go, I worked until the end of the day.

How I am going to handle this:
I documented it. If it happens again, I will tell him that I will come to him and ask for the early dismissal and I will put down the actual hours I worked.

I cannot go to the boss, as I do not have hard proof such as a taped conversation, so it is my word against his, and the foreman has worked for him before, and I have never worked for this boss.

The other reason I did not do this was because the foreman, I hope, was being truly kind, where I have a 1 1/2 hour drive each way, each day, and there was not much going on for me to do which related to my field. I feel he was truly looking out for a fellow brother of the crew!!! The worst part is, if something did happen and I was not there, he could get in some trouble, if not lose his job, and I do not want that to happen to anyone! He is too nice of a guy.

I do not look to the wrong or horrible first, only last!

1) talk to the person and inform them of the problem, if it is a small issue. Now this can only be if it is not going to put you in any danger, or anyone else.

2) Take this article to heart, remember each step, and follow it. These are good, non-confrontational thoughts or tactics.

If it is an immanent (serious, could cause death or major harm) danger, then go directly to the boss immediately, and no holes barred, and tell everything!!!
