I would agree, that if management is not receptive, which is how it sounds 
in this situation, then just let it go and leave. A lot too depends on the 
"atmosphere" within the company. If management is of the mindset of 
pointing blame and trying to find a scapegoat, then forget about any kind 
of notion of trying to help them out. In those cases, and in my opinion, 
they get what's coming to them.

One other thought, if you know of someone in the company who could be 
trusted to bring about change, you might consider a carefully crafted 
anonymous letter after you find a new job.

gosh, there just is no upside to this approach that I can see, and lots of
downside.   Management is not receptive to this information, so why risk
their wrath?  All that can happen is you get an undeserved reputation as a
trroublemaker.

As a matter of professional courtesy, I think you should tactfully,

without stepping on anybody's toes (if possible) document the issues that

you see.

It should be done in a manner and tone of trying to inform

upper-management of some concerns you see and not necessarily exposing

anybody in particular of wrong-doing or ineptitude.

Be very careful to avoid griping and complaining as this kind of a tone

simply makes you look like a whiner and your comments will be disregarded.

 

 

Thanks,

        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!
