Dev Test
Good Ethics. test
Each of us must ensure we all stay safe and healthy at work. We cannot ignore unsafe conditions. We owe it to ourselves and our colleagues to watch for possible safety hazards. We must each report and/or fix what we see.
Q: One of my team members repeatedly criticizes another person on our team in front of everyone. It doesn’t seem fair. I know I’m not directly involved, but it makes me feel uncomfortable. What should I do?
A: Repeated public criticism of one person could constitute harassment. If you feel comfortable, raise the issue directly with the team member who is being critical. Otherwise, speak to your manager, local HR or report it through one of the channels listed here. Even if the individual doesn’t feel victimized, it could create a toxic work environment.
Q: Our new manager is much more demanding than the former department head. They keep asking us to redo work that used to be fine. I am stressed and annoyed by this.
This behaviour is not acceptable and violates our Code. We believe everyone should be treated with dignity and respect in a supportive environment. Please reach out to HR, the Ethics Helpline, or your manager (assuming it’s not the same manager you are describing). Even if the individual doesn’t seem upset, it can negatively impact the environment for everyone.
