Can I get in trouble for not reporting a conflict of interest?

[CartoonPenguin]

Our store has a front end TL who regularly parties and hangs out with his front end TM's, along with sleeping with some of his female TM's. I haven't attended any of their recent outings, but the big rumor that I'm hearing right now is that there was an incident where he got drunk at a party and threatened all of his TM's if they ever made any mention of his attendance. Apparently someone filed a report to the Integrity Hotline and now the ETL's and the DSD are investigating. I'm worried because this might all find a way back to me.

I didn't have any involvement in the event, but I have had prior knowledge of this front end TL hanging out with his TM's, which is obviously a conflict of interest. I'm just wondering if I can actually get into trouble for this. Could I be reprimanded for not reporting to the ETL's about the front end and his TM's spending time together? I've known about his activites for the better part of a year and I don't want to get dragged down in this.

I had mentioned in a prior thread that I put in my two weeks, but I had to rescind since my new job simply didn't pan out how I wanted, so now I'm stuck at Target still for the time being. I still plan on leaving, but I don't want to get fired and I need to keep this job for the time being.

But I already told you: I AM the proof. Wanna smell my breath? It smells like front-end leadership.

Go to work
Be punctual
Be friendly
Punch in
Do your job
Have a sandwich if you're scheduled for a 30
Finish off your day
Say "see ya tomorrow" if applicable
Punch out
Leave

I really wonder how your coworkers can stand to be around you, dude. You give off Randall from Recess vibes.

How can he or ANYONE prove you had prior knowledge unless you blab?

Why would it be your fault...If you were not involved, you are not under scrutiny.
Just stay away from those parties, and don't socialize with that TL.
If questioned on anyy observiations or interactions, just tell the truth.

I had a TL who got trouble and reassigned for meeting TMs (not under him) at a bar and bought them drinks. Their social gathering was documented on Facebook. And reported up to store leadership.

I knew that the series would continue! Anyways, if you're really concerned about getting fired like others have mentioned I would stop getting involved in these kinds of situations with other leaders or parties or whatnot.

Focus on work and being the best team member that you can be. I also hope that you've realized that being on your best behavior is important no matter how bad things get at your workplace. You never know when you might need them again if a new job doesn't work out and you want to stay on amicable terms in case you need to come back.

Bag the socialization, go home, rub some diclofenac on those sore knees, do an Ovaltine, listen to Suzy Boggus and Kathy Mattea and relax. Tomorrow is another day on the job. Rinse and repeat until you're my age then count your money.

Looks like the series got renewed after all! I was worried this show got cancelled.

Yeah you're probably looking at jail time. Snitches get stitches though, so you made the right choice.

If it comes down to it, make sure they know you only support TLs hanging out with other TLs and that you wouldn't dare to even share a donut with an underling.

Cut the fucking jokes. I'm asking a serious question and I want a serious answer.

If it’s a rumor that he got drunk with them, that means you weren’t there so how would this get back to you? Dumbass, you can’t be in trouble for not spreading a rumor you heard.
Like seriously, your stories are getting worse. They have too many flaws.

It’s not about the drunk incident. It’s about my knowledge of him hanging out and hooking up with his TM’s and me not informing management. There’s also the fact that that I’ve occasionally given the front end TL advice on how to evade suspicion. I’m afraid that he’s going to rat me out.

 

[CartoonPenguin]

How is he going to rat you out without ratting him self out!! Seriously dude get a life. Your made up Bs was entertaining for a while but, now it’s just annoying.

I wouldn’t think that he’s going to rat himself out, but it could reach a point where the evidence against him is so overwhelming that he sees the writing on the wall and just decides to take everyone down with him.

For fuck’s sake, someone please just answer my question.
