Re: I am leaving my company - should I inform top mgmt of major ITissues?

["Richard ECUYER" <recuyer@xxxxxxx>]

in my sense :

1- You MUST inform top manager if you care about the future of the company
2- if you don't care .....you don't care !!!.

But be sure that there are REALLY a BAD job being done and not only your
opinion.
Anyway friends and work are 2 things differents i think, first tell your
friends or try to put them in a better way to work (scue my english), if
they don't understand, go to point 1 ...

Subject: I am leaving my company - should I inform top mgmt of major
ITissues?


I have been working in my company's IT department for 8 years.  The company
is downsizing, and I got caught up in the latest round.

My company's IT department is severely damaging the company and risking the
company's thousands of jobs by being so imcompetent.

Should I inform my company's top mgmt of specific technical issues in their
IT department that are destroying the company?

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!
