> My company's IT department is severely damaging the company and

> 
> Should I go out with a bang?  Or gracefully (without informing mgmt)?

> 
> Reasons to inform mgmt:
>   a..     Seems like the right thing to do
>   b..     They might make needed changes and turn the company around
>   c..     They need to make serious and fundamental IT changes to
survive
>   d..     Maybe they will keep me on staff
> 
> 
> Reasons NOT to inform mgmt:
>   a..     It is sticking my nose where it doesn't belong
>   b..     No one else does this type of thing
>   c..     It would probably sound like just another disgruntled
employee spewing giberish
>   d..     It could cause a shakeup in the IT department and I would
lose friends and the respect of former co-workers
> 
> Has anyone tried informing top mgmt of problems upon exit of the 
> company?  Was there anything positive that came out of doing this?
> 
> Thanks!
