These things happened in the past and will continue to happen, it even happened to me. In addition since you're just assuming what's going on you'll hurt your friend, your friendship and eventually yourself. Listen to the good advice you've received here, stop meddling. | |

Nov 7, 2014 at 0:10 | comment | added | corsiKa | @Ronnie Of course your manager validated your concerns. He wants to know everything about his employees, why wouldn't he? You've done two damaging things here... you've shown your manager that Joe doesn't trust him, and you've shown your manager that you can't be trusted to know when information should be considered confidential. How can he trust you not to tell people things when you've clearly not extended the same to someone you consider a friend? I'm afraid you've performed a career limiting move here for as long as you're under that manager. | |

You are flat-out meddling. Did the company ask you to look into this? If not, caring about the company and mentioning it to your boss is tattling with a capital 'T'. There's no guarantee they care or will recognize your weariness for them. From your perspective the company miscalculated, but that is an assumption unless explicitly told by those authorizing bonuses. Sounds like you're just trying to get the bonus for your friend. Commendable, but misplaced. | |
Nov 6, 2014 at 18:39 | comment | added | Chris E | I understand what you're saying but I still think it's a bad idea to press it, if for no other reason than it's not your place. To be rather blunt (from his standpoint) they may not value him as much as you do in the sense that they obviously don't think he deserves the bonus. Actions have consequences and if he leaves because of it, maybe they'll think better next time. Even if they did want to keep him, giving him a bonus to keep him after denying it at first could set a bad precedent. | |
Nov 6, 2014 at 18:33 | comment | added | Ronnie W | I am sorry if I wasn't clear. My manager did validate my concerns but I don't think had really thought that Joe leaving was a real possibility. Joe would stay I think if he was given the bonus. I updated my question to better reflect that. | |
