@Kevin I'm not making the assertion, the answerer is. My assertion is that the first amendment is irrelevant here.
Gregory Currie

@Kevin "In the United States, that lack of duty is even more clear, because the First Amendment would protect your right to disclose or not disclose what had happened."
Gregory Currie
May 23, 2024 02:00
@Kevin Affirming the consequent. I'm saying in specific circumstances, you have a duty to warn. The answerer here says that duty to warn cannot possibly exist because of the first amendment. Which is incorrect.

@bdb484 Sadly, you don't appear to be familiar enough.

@Mołot The court can actually "punish" you if it found you had some sort of obligation to speak out. You can look up the "duty to warn" concept for examples.
Gregory Currie

@bdb484 The first amendment specifically deals with congress, not the executive branch, nor judicial. You can absolutely be found liable in a civil case, if you had a contractural obligation to speak about something and did not, for example.

The First Amendment disallows the government from impeding free speech. How does that interact with what appears to be civil matters presented here?

@WernerCD The gender is immaterial. Men can be "hit on" just as much as women. What is "telling" is the OP wants to focus on the issue at hand.

@Some-Interviewee-2024 And you'll find that most trials are public record too. Unless the judge decides to suppress the record.
Gregory Currie
Feb 5, 2024 09:17
@Some-Interviewee-2024 How is that relevant? If the crime wasn't public record would you be willing to work with them?
Gregory Currie

@Some-Interviewee-2024 I don't need your invitation (or permission).
Gregory Currie
Feb 5, 2024 09:17
@Some-Interviewee-2024 No. It doesn't. It is a crime that you feel morally reprehensible. That's all that matters.
Gregory Currie
Feb 5, 2024 09:17
I've made the question more generic because the particulars of the crime don't matter.
Gregory Currie

If you don't want to work with this person, that's fine. Simply withdraw your application.

@TheDemonLord And further to that, even if 100% of people polled want tougher sentencing, that doesn't give you a right, either legally or morally, to act outside the justice system. If you can't understand why intuitively, then I'm not sure it can be spelled out to you.
Gregory Currie
Feb 5, 2024 08:22
@TheDemonLord You're clearly missing the point, either deliberately or otherwise. Clearly Aida is suggesting that vigilante justice has been used to discriminate against people, and that we have a justice system for a reason.

Sometimes these phrases occur because someone is nervous while speaking to a group of people. I'm sure they are aware of it, I'm not sure trying to make them more self-conscious is worth it.

@JackGifford Indeed possible if you're dealing with someone incredibly malicious and nefarious, but the actor here is described as "painfully shy and introverted", which I think makes it unlikly the actor has the tools required in their toolbox.

It seems that you've been stepping quite beyond what a typical Scrum Master's role is. I suspect your team member feels the same. The fact your manager does not share your concerns with respect to the team member suggests to be that you've done a poor job of aligning your expectations with management. I suggest a core factor in whatever you decide to do is to determine if you can bring into alignment your expectations with your manager. If not, time to move on.

I suspect that if someone trashed your reputation that you spent 5 years building, the reputation may not have been that steadfast to begin with.

@mxyzplk How is that remarkable? If you don't think there is a problem, why wouldn't you downvote a question where the premise is there is a problem?

@Kilisi Religion is a personal thing, with many interpretations of even the same sacred texts. I'm not sure TWP is a place where we can discuss someone's religion and reason about it. It's not our place to inform people of their own religion.
Gregory Currie
May 13, 2023 20:51
@Kilisi Some religious texts abhor violence while demanding it in other places. I think we can simply trust the OP on face value that they understand their religion.

At the meeting referenced in the warning letter, did you explain your absences? Does the ONLINE PORTAL documentation reference this? (I'm unsure how many meeting have occurred).

Please give more information on what the written warning actually says.

In the UK it is illegal for an employer to discriminate against someone who suffers migraines.

In addition to all this, in certain jurisdictions, it can actually be a criminal offence to withhold certain types of information, such as passwords to systems. So before the employee decides to hold a gun to their employers head, they have to determine if the risk of a criminal conviction is worth whatever petty moral/financial victory they hope to accomplish.
Gregory Currie
Feb 15, 2023 11:12
As much as your try to obfuscate matters, what remains clear is that the employee was duty bound to share that information, given they were still employed. When it comes to deciding the proportion of damages, the judge will look at a number of factors, including if the employee acted with malice (which is the case here). A paper trail indicating the employee deliberately acted against their employers interests while they were employed in order to secure a contract, is reasonably damning.

"Then why did you fire them and wait until 2 days before their exit date to ask for it?" "Because it would take way less than 2 days to transfer that information"
Gregory Currie

Civil matters don't have to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, but only on a balance of probabilities. Attempts to extort the employer (as you suggest) are likely to make it pretty clear to the court what your intentions are.
Gregory Currie
Feb 15, 2023 11:12
If you are legally employed, and you wilfully withhold information they have a legal right to know, you could be liable for damages that are incurred as a result. Very bad advice.

@EricNolan Tourists live in a country and use the infrastructure without paying income tax already. Working remotely doesn't make that any worse.
Gregory Currie
Dec 22, 2022 09:47
Some comments here are claiming working with a tourist visa is unwise or illegal. It is going to come down to exactly which specific visa and what specific country. Different countries have different rules. Some countries certainly allow you to work remotely with a tourist visa. The general concern with working with a tourist visa is that you are "stealing" jobs from locals. If you are working remotely, that is not the case. As I said, it will come down to the specific visa and the specific country you travelled to.
Gregory Currie
Dec 22, 2022 09:47
@Dnomyar96 Not sure how you can say it's illegal to work with a tourist visa... You don't even know specifically which visa and which country is involved.

A lot of speculation in the comment section. We don't really have any idea of the vesting schedule and conditions unless we take a look at the agreements in place. Also, about 1/4 of US employees are not "at-risk", so it's really difficult to know exactly what the situation is here.

Have you tried bringing up these concerns at all? Not getting involved in office politics and doings tasks that are explicitly spelled out do not seem very high bars to pass generally speaking. Maybe that makes them exceptional in your industry however. But there is a chance it would be better off if they were downsized?

@Hobbamok I don't know what a bad cope is. I agree that articulating that there could be some sort of security issue is important. But putting all your eggs into the basket of hoping you can find a hole, is likely to be fruitless.
Gregory Currie
Nov 16, 2022 19:44
@Hobbamok And no, uncovering a security flaw doesn't prove you're innocent.
Gregory Currie
Nov 16, 2022 19:44
@Hobbamok It's unlikely the OP will be given enough scope in order to uncover the flaw, even if they had the expertise in order to do so.
Gregory Currie
Nov 16, 2022 19:44
@ItWasLikeThatWhenIGotHere You state that guilty people plead their innocence, so the OP shouldn't do that.
Gregory Currie
Nov 16, 2022 19:44
@ItWasLikeThatWhenIGotHere Correlation is not causation. Just because guilty people plead they are innocent doesn't mean everyone who pleads they are innocent are guilty.
