| May 7, 2018 at 23:29 | comment | added | solarflare | The point of the above story (which is true by the way) is that if you feel people are vulnerable and you are in a position to stop unethical harm from coming there way then you should speak up. If that was me I'd say this is unethical and offer the contents of the DB minus the names. If management have an issue with this trust me that is not a good organization to work for, you're better off not being there. Just my $0.02. | |
| May 7, 2018 at 23:27 | comment | added | solarflare | When I was in college I worked as a security guard at a hospital. One day a drug affected woman was sitting in the ER waiting room not harming anyone other than being an eye sore. The head nurse asked me to remove her from the waiting room as she had no business there. I refused, I said it would be unethical and I would feel like a really lousy human being if I removed a vulnerable woman from somewhere safe and threw her into the gutter. A short argument ensued but I stood my ground. The woman remained safe. I did not get into trouble. I felt like a decent human being. | |

| May 7, 2018 at 18:39 | comment | added | cdkMoose | You may want to be more clear about what is happening. I think many people assume "re-organization" is changes in management or department organizational hierarchy. What you are describing sounds more like job reclassification within a negotiated contract. Two very different things. | |
| May 7, 2018 at 18:14 | comment | added | trinityalps | @cdkMoose the unions are really powerful, they have to be consulted throughout the whole process and approve all the new job codes, and I don't think any one will change unions. But they have a lot of power. I will let them know about the mis-identifying, but I don't know if they will care that much. | |
| May 7, 2018 at 18:06 | comment | added | cdkMoose | @trinityalps, If you know it is mis-identifying people, you do have an obligation to let management know that the data is flawed. It's up to them to decide how to handle that, but you need to let them know. | |
| May 7, 2018 at 18:05 | comment | added | cdkMoose | Does the reorg change the jobs of any union members? Why are the unions upset? In all of my years of working, reorgs were secret until they were officially announced. I wouldn't expect to be told all of the modifications to the plan along the way, only what the final re-org is. | |
| May 7, 2018 at 18:03 | comment | added | trinityalps | @cdkMoose I am already seeing issues in the data collection, so yes, this system is misidentifying people. But I can't stop it. | |
| May 7, 2018 at 17:55 | comment | added | cdkMoose | "Should be" and "is" are two very different things. If they click on a link in an email message that is pretty close, but the user should then understand that their identity is available. If you made some assumption based on machine owner or similar, that has holes. | |
| May 7, 2018 at 17:54 | comment | added | jean | A survey auto fills your name on it must be clear about it or people will (wrong) guess it's anonymous, It's a trap!. Maybe your job is ok but the guy made the survey (and his boss) can be unethical | |
| May 7, 2018 at 17:52 | comment | added | trinityalps | @cdkMoose I don't know what happens if I misidentify someone! it should be bullet proof, though, I don't know. It's a whole api thing. It's via email or windows login? | |
| May 7, 2018 at 17:49 | comment | added | cdkMoose | How are you identifying the users without them providing their names? You may have a bigger problem if you "identify" someone incorrectly. | |
| May 7, 2018 at 17:45 | comment | added | trinityalps | @jean it's through an online system that doesn't ask for the name, but it does grab the name on the backend. I am not using port info, but still, you don't put your name in. | |

Added some clarity to the situation.

| May 7, 2018 at 17:33 | comment | added | trinityalps | @curt1893 it's a course on ethics in dealing with humans in regards to academic and professional settings. | |
| May 7, 2018 at 17:29 | comment | added | Sandra K | @curt1893 My guess is that OP meant this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_protocol_suite, in other words, they can see which computer (TCP -> IP -> Port) submitted the comment (established the connection) | |
