Recently the leadership team (of 2) in my office made a decision that I feel compromises the integrity of our organization. I am very discouraged by the action and concerned about its implications, which I think will be far-reaching. The decision was made without staff input and staff feedback hasn't been solicited - more like stifled by statements like, "we'll all have a lot of feelings about this...there isn't much we can disclose about our decision...the decision has been made..."etc.
Can I show up at work every day and act as though nothing has changed? This seems to be the expectation. Am I more at risk by speaking my truth and possibly being seen as some kind of threat, or by letting my own integrity be compromised by acting complicit in a situation that I don't support? I'm inclined toward the latter, and another important question seems to be: now that the organization's leadership has broken trust and thrown out transparency, what have I got to lose by speaking up?
