Later: why didn’t you do the thing I asked?
The secret is: it’s always your fault.
The 5th panel should be a copy of the 2nd one.
- To: boss email
- From: your work email
- BCC: your personal email
Hey Boss
So as discussed earlier, you’re accepting my recommendation that we NOT do _____ due to the high risk of _____, correct?
Thanks in advance for helping to clarify this!
- yourname
This goes so hard
Don’t bcc your personal email, the internal mail servers can see everything even if the recipients don’t. Better to just screencap when possible.
The boss can’t see it unless he asks a tech for it. The techs usually don’t care.
So what if they know you have it?
The two things I can think of are the company may try to tag you for inappropriately handling what they consider confidential information – and if something goes to court and the email ends up in the discovery process, opposing council may be allowed access to your entire personal email account.
It’s probably better to copy everything as an attachment to a dedicated portable drive so it’s less likely to be called out by the company, and if it ends up it court you only need to release the information on that drive.

This would get you fired from some jobs.
Most companies have software to identify what you’ve copied to an external drive as well.
Copying to an external drive would be way worse than using your own email. With the email you can prove that that was the only data you moved to outside the company. With an external drive they’d argue that it might be a habit, question what else you moved and sue the fuck out of you for breach of contract + violations of NDAs.
Download it, actually.

Except don’t do this if your company tells you not to(which they most likely have) as it will actually screw you over pretty badly. Unless you’ve got hard proof of illegality going on, don’t piss off your employer by being paranoid.

Or if you’re Hillary Clinton 😜.

After months of no replies, you are fired for “lack of initiative”.
Unless you went ahead and did it, and then you get fired for “too much initiative”.
You have to find just the right amount of initiative.
My DEX modfier is +2 and get another +2 from being a bard, is +4 too high?
Make sure you don’t roll too high or too low.
If it made the boss feel inadequate, then yes - dial that shit back, maybe pretend to attempt to roll but then trip (while actually aiming to just trip), roll for constitution to avoid damage. Taking ego damage is unavoidable in that case, except getting to keep the job more than balances it out:-).
And congratulations - you just leveled up! Now you get to do 1.1x your previous workload, for 1.00x your previous pay.:-( Although when all your friends at work get let go, you get to stay.
