This really depends on the region. I've lived in a few European countries. In all of them it was completely normal to omit jobs that didn't go well. The normal advice is: if you discover in the first weeks that the job is not for you, quit immediately and don't disclose them. The thought that this omission could ever be interpreted as lying or not being honest would never cross my mind.

"Point out to him, that since there's now a record trail (that can be found in discovery) of the safety issue being brought to his attention and ignored" - OP definitely shouldn't do that unless she wants to be fired. None of the bosses I've ever had would ever accept being threatened.

@MichaelMcFarlane, that's why everybody hates elearning. Some idiot decided long time ago to put content that could be summarized in 1 page A4 in 20 videos of 5 minseach you have to click yourself through. Everyone has been following "the rule" since.

The worst companies I've worked for cared for their reputation the most and participated in programs like "Excellent place to work". And yes, normally such programs needed to be paid for (I don't know about this one).

Yes, with the benefit of hindsight it's clear what the OP should have done, but the truth is most managers, especially at higher levels, don't want to hear about problems. @Randomator, not sure if you've seen the excellent series Succession, but I recommend it to you if not for the extraordinary humor than because it exposes corporate mechanisms so well. And what you're doing through is one of the motives there.

@Graham, exactly. When I tell my boss about issues with the team members we hire from a vendor, she asks me why I'm telling her that. I normally reply something like "So that you know the situation, know what I'm planning to do and can veto the proposal if needed" but she's not convinced anyway. All my bosses were like that. The OP has found a unicorn.

Your explanation would be more valuable if Peter's and my skill levels were similar. But I dare say I have more experience and expertise. So in the example above, I'm more suited but I don't have time. However, boss couldn't move anything from my tasks to Peter since Peter wouldn't be able to deal with them. So I would get more tasks. "If your primary motivation is the former, then you will come across as selfish" - and if my primary motivation is the latter, I will end up working 15 hours/ day with no extra credit - currently it's "just" 12. I'm paid for 8.

"Everything but programming" is quite a lot to choose from :D

@Fattie, Business Process Outsourcing probably.

@RedSonja, not sure if that's universal. Maybe at a lower experience level. But my bosses never really know what I'm doing. They know it approximately because of the emails I cc them in or when I mention something during 1:1s. Of course they also know my main priorities, but only high-level, definitely not in detail.
