You Work in a Large Office in the "Bullpen," a Large

Question 3

Multiple Choice

You work in a large office in the "bullpen," a large open area of desks, chairs and computers, where about 50 people work, separated only by low-level cubicle walls. In this area, several teams of people work together on different projects. Lately, there have been a lot of pranks played by one rowdy team upon another team (not yours) , which have escalated.  Yesterday, someone lowered the seat of a worker's chair while he was out of his cubicle, and when he returned and attempted to sit down, he fell and injured his back. You believe this conduct needs to stop, but management has so far ignored the situation. What should you do and why? ​


A) do nothing; if you report this conduct, you'll be ostracized by your co-workers; besides, its harmless horseplay
B) report the behavior to management, telling them about the potential for more serious injuries, and asking them to take steps to stop it before anyone else is injured
C) report the behavior to OSHA, and ask for an inspection; OSHA can't reveal your name, so no one will know (though the company may get in trouble)
