It's a new project. I had just set up sites where I do outreach work. I was on sick leave for nearly a month within a week of doing so. The head of our project told me that the sites would be informed of my absence. I have returned to work to find that none have been! In one case, the site needed to have the contract signed to confirm it, so we nearly lost it. I have emailed the head of project, the administrator and the overall manager regarding this. I understand that everyone was busy with set up, but I think it shows incompetence. I haven't stated that in the email. Was it reasonable to email all three of these people rather than just the project leader, when I found out? The overall manager is responsible for the division and either the project leader, or the administrator, would have dealt with the sites while I was away. This wasn't the only issue that arose during my absence. The project leader has now asked me to attend a one-to-one session.

  1. should have spoke to him on a 1 on 1 to stop anyone being humiliated and so its handled more discreetly


  2. You did what was morally right from your point of view however its not going to make you popular and its not a good idea to highlight what people haven't done at work if you want to keep your job.  Not fair but its easy to get labelled a trouble maker and if your boss feels vulnerable he/she is not going to risk keeping you around. If you made a mistake would you want a colleague to email everyone and tell them?
