Hank writes . . .

So your Supervisor gives an order to change a report that you know is accurate - no reasons: just because "I think, therefore it is." And I understand that you won't challenge this Supervisor because she makes the Rules for her reports.

But why not go to her Manager to correct the mistake? After all, blame drips down, and if this report screws up something later on, then sooner or later it falls on you.

Kyra answers . . .

Our company is very hierarchical: one is not appreciated for "speaking above your pay level."

We practice a lot of PYA around here: trust me, there was a memo from me "confirming" the changes that my Supervisor wanted me to make.

And if The Opinion That Must Be Listened To originally came to my Supervisor from her Manager, then I am as certain as I am in the existence of Taxes that there is a PYA memo from her to him.
