| Sep 18, 2019 at 16:37 | comment | added | Alexei | @rkeet - Bob is supposed to join our team starting from October and the management thinks in terms of full time employees allocated to this or that project, sometimes with various fractions. Quite backward, unfortunately. | |
| Sep 18, 2019 at 12:13 | comment | added | rkeet | It's been answered, but a small question. If he's not actually part of the team, how come you (you guys) include the official non-team-member into your capacity calculations/guestimations? Seems very backward. | |
| Sep 17, 2019 at 20:07 | comment | added | ldog | Depending on the social circle/hierarchy you are in, snitching (telling sensitive and/or private information on a peer to an authority) can be viewed as extremely poor form. So much so, it may label you a "snitch" going forward. For example, in certain prisons around the world, snitches are at the bottom rung of the social hierarchy which is not a great place to be in prison. Of course, that is not applicable to your situation, but it warrants thought. | |

| Sep 17, 2019 at 10:14 | comment | added | VLAZ | Hypothetical here: suppose Bob is not about to leave. He has a different reason for this behaviour which is unrelated. You, however, decide to tell the PO that Bob will leave. In this situation you've put Bob, the PO, and maybe the company or at least some of management in a very difficult situations - were management to decide that Bob is indeed leaving and they cut him from the project, that could actually cause Bob to leave. He may even be terminated early - it's a bad move from the company but possible outcome. Bob might even have grounds for constructive dismissal as a result here. | |

| Sep 16, 2019 at 9:32 | comment | added | Alexei | @Panky - I mean the team should have four members including Bob. His leaving leads to only three for a while. | |
| Sep 16, 2019 at 9:03 | comment | added | Hanky Panky | Bob is bored because of lack of work and you're saying his departure will disrupt activity by 25%? Are you sure you guys are utilizing the human resource properly? | |

| Sep 16, 2019 at 5:13 | comment | added | user371366 | @Jack if i walk past a house and happen to see something interesting in the window and continued walking, it would be inappropriate to call that spying. if i saw into someone's window, and went and found an interested party who would benefit from that information at the occupant's expense, that becomes a malicious act. | |

@SolarMike - clearly not like this, but the other signs seem pretty important (they were good predictors for all other persons who left the company before). Anyway, teego1967's answer made me understand that there is virtually no gain in talking to PO about this. After all the company should be able to compensate for anyone leaving sooner or later.
