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

Hi -

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?

A lot of people seem to be slamming you for waiting so long to report the problems, however I read the situation as, you're not the IT management and you have probably made the IT management aware of the problems, but they, in their infinite incompentence, have chosen to ignore you and the problems; so now that you are leaving, you are asking if you should go over their heads to report the problems.

Assuming that assessment of the situation is correct, I would say No.

If you have reported the problems to your supervisor, that's the end of your responsibility.

If the company has chosen to downsize you out, you owe them no favors.

Just leave quietly, saying as little as possible to anyone about anything.
