I always believe in trying to inform any issues as and when they occur or
when the opportunity arises. In my previous job there were serious
management issues, and all my warnings fell on deaf hears. I even warned
about the skilled staff being so disgruntled that they contemplated
leaving..... now that all have gone, they still turn a blind eye on the
issues and pretend nothing is wrong - Even when the best skilled staff left
the company out of frustration. The issues still remain as they are
management related, and all of them live in a perfect world.

I think if management is so blind to issues, as well as not being
responsive to comments/feedback, there is no point wasting your breath. I
know I how hard I tried to warn them.

If I were in your shoes, I'd take what I can get and let them sort out
their own problems... most likely they wouldn't want to hear that they are
not 'managing properly'.

  |       Subject:  I am leaving my company - should I inform top mgmt of major 
IT    issues?                                    |
  
>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|




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!
