I've noticed a shortcut being taken on a project that might compromise safety and long-term performance, but my project manager seems fine with it because it saves money. I'm worried about the implications, but I don't want to rock the boat or seem difficult. What's the best way to handle this?

That’s such a tough spot to be in. When I worked in home health, I saw shortcuts being taken that put patients at risk, and it haunted me. I ended up writing a calm but clear email outlining the risks. Is there a way you can raise your concern while keeping the tone curious, not accusatory?

Of course!

Thanks for sharing

Email it to your boss! Been there a million times. The first question they will ask during the investigation….did YOU tell anyone about it? You will gain respect and clout when you tell people up front what you think! Be you, nobody else thinks like you!

Good call

Initial greeting can only be “Hello [name] ” because just first name is too brisk and a “Hi [name]” is too informal. Had a 5 minute, in depth conversation as to why she prefers it this way…

Hi everyone. I’m a front end software engineer. I’m interviewing next week for a solutions engineer at a company I really like, which I mistakenly applied for as I saw they needed ReactJS, JavaScript, HTML/CSS.

How would you approach asking the recruiter if there are any SWE openings I could be considered for instead ?

Not sure how else to build something from scratch.
