If a situation arose where your manager is forcing you to do something, work-related, in a way that causes you to question authority and your morals, how would you react and what would you say to that person?

1 Answers

I would do my best to remain professional and request a sit-down meeting with the manager (and include an additional person for clarity and witness verification purposes). Starting out, I would inform them that the directive or order issued causes me to feel uncomfortable with the decision or action needed to meet the desired result. As well, it would be in direct violation of one or more of the core values that BP has in place and lives by. In particular this core value (Safety, or example). I would then discuss with my manager any alternatives that could be made and recommend that all safety measures must be met as expected or all operations must cease until all is clarified or rectified. If none can be identified or if the original directive is demanded of me, and yet no resolution has been achieved, then it would be my responsibility to either speak to my next highest manager to reduce any unwanted outcomes.
