How to deal with a leader’s illegal instructions
Thread Content
I know it’s against the rules, and my boss knows it too – how am I supposed to deal with such a boss?
If there is a risk to personal safety, firmly \"refuse orders to carry out work in violation of regulations\"!
Appeal to emotions and reason. While joking, remind the leader that doing so is dangerous; it could put their position at risk and affect their career prospects, which is exactly what leaders fear the most.
What you consider to be illegal may not necessarily be so; every action is the result of experimentation, and only those with experience can carry it out. Not everyone is willing to risk their own safety, and once you see this often enough, it ceases to surprise you
Make him memorize the six major prohibitions of PetroChina!
It is advisable to remind the leader that doing so is dangerous; it not only affects others but can also put their position at risk in the event of any problems, thereby impacting their career prospects.
Reminding managers about the issues related to illegal instructions requires a lot of skill; many predecessors have done this very well, especially in the high-risk industry of oil refining, where the cost of an accident is extremely high. One must learn to communicate with leaders, and it is also essential to improve one’s professional skills – after all, one needs to be strong in order to do the job well!
This is a really sharp question, and it comes up often. If it involves personal safety, simply tell your supervisor: — I won’t do it. Generally, leaders are more fearful than you. He is more afraid of something going wrong.
It’s almost unheard of these days to dare to say “no” to a manager directly. Those who dare to speak are usually outstanding people; I admire them greatly.
Refuse to carry it out; no matter who it is, if not doing so will cause greater harm, it’s better to carry it out, otherwise it must not be done at all. Once there are casualties or the accident escalates, innocent people will be harmed. The underground section of the steam pipeline in front of the gate leaked severely the day before yesterday. The maintenance workers did not set up any barriers; when I approached, they just shouted a few words. I realized there was a problem, as it happened to be the time when kindergartens and schools dismissed their students – it was extremely dangerous. Call the person in charge of the electric field right away; it is only after the construction team receives a call from their supervisor that they start setting up barriers and taking measures to protect against rain. During flood prevention periods, rainwater can easily cause subsidence of the soil underground, affecting buildings located on the street sides. These days, one must be on guard at all times and in every situation, to avoid irreversible consequences resulting from the dishonesty and cutbacks practiced by those in charge of execution.
Reply to 1#: Refuse such illegal instructions in a polite manner, and explain to the supervisor the reasons behind those illegal actions as well as the hazards of carrying out such work illegally!
