If we don't report and the bugs causes a major problem, we could be fired for lying about the actual state of the product. |
| B-D | If we put out a faulty product then we could be in trouble with lawsuits or multiple consumer complaints leading to more frustrations for the company down the road | Consumer complaints will always happen, they are also what leads to a better product or a more developed product as the time goes on. |
| C-D' | I need this job in order to support my family. If my manager feels that I am a rat and not a cooperating team member, they may feel an urge to cut me and find a "yes" man | The manager may be overworked and not have time to hear me. Having it come down from higher management the product may need more time to be properly taken care of and it may help the manager. |
| A-B | Customer feedback is important. If apple put out a phone that couldn't take pictures because of a bug everyone would be furious and the company would be in very hot water. | You cannot forsee all bugs and there may always be another bug within the product later on. |
| A-C | I need this job. I have much to lose if I do lose this job | I may not lose my job, the higher management may not be upset that i am reporting the issue. |
