Does anyone believe or had any success with reporting someone to the integrity line ? I know a tech that was reported 8 times for legitimate issues and nothing happened. Now this tech has made several unethical comments about a female employee. What should I do ?

We had a bad SRO in my area, complaints filed with company and Union, took almost two years to get them out of management in that RCA, once the investigation started there was hell to pay by the craft people, this person knew they were being watched now so used every legitimate means to make the employees uncomfortable. Limit breaks to one person at a time, this is when we had 6 or 7 in a C.O., monitor entrance and exit times of the building and write you up if you were early logging in or late logging in or entered the build late or exited it early. Took speakers from Computers and forbid radios, it goes on and on.
They were finally relieved of Supervising Employees, in that RCA, they made this person a SRO in another, company claiming that the grievance and resolution was only subject to that RCA and does not transfer to another or Union Hall.
So this person got another crew, continued the Tyrant abusive treatment of their employees for another three years with more grievance filed an reports made till it was so bad finally the company let them retire with all their benefits to appease the situation but admitting nothing wrong.
If you don't trust HR and the integrity line and the SRO. Send the complaint to the MeToo movement you'll definitely see some action.
They work for the company, justice like HR....need I say more
Is your SRO in SW Florida?
Letting some chosen Tech's getting away with OT ?
Sounds like we may have the same SRO in Fl. No one will report him though. Worry about retaliation when it gets blown off.
Without giving any identifying info, can you tell what the SRO has been doing ?
SRO's are the reason for all the bs they let the dishonest tech's get away with. There's one here in fla. that needs a lawsuit filed against him maybe then things would change and we would all be created equal.
Sounds like a waste of time. Upper managers let SROs get away with anything. Does your SRO actually do anything? Mine doesn't. Not sure of the point of the job at all anymore. The rot starts at the top and has filtered down to the guys who just want to work do a good job and earn a living without feeling s–c-dal. Is that too much to ask?
Anyone else?
Yeah a tech was terminated that was reported to the line. However others have done far more for termination but are still here.
Good grief. Someone must have had a positive result. Just based on the laws of averages. On the other hand this is CTL/L3.
Based on replies here it seems like a screening for people who are not all in to their agenda.
Geez I've thought about calling but wasn't sure if I should. Su××ks that you can't trust the integrity line either.
It's a complete waste of time!!! You will have a target on you!! A former colleague of mine reported bullying.... a week later they were fired!
Makes you wonder how many lawsuits they've had filed already.
Basically that line is to give the company a heads up in case of a lawsuit. I believe I even had to sign an agreement that the investigation can not be used in a lawsuit. The man who conducted the investigation told me he saw and reported a serious problem to HR. What did they do, leave it up to his unethical Director who mistreats people as well, and nothing was done, he was actually assigned several additional reports on the exact day they told me was co fidential and cannot report the findings. There is also a situation similar to that 840 there have been several complaints against him employed here and nothing is been done can you put her in a position of authority over people but again her visor is another rude and obnoxious employee. Document it all and hire a lawyer. When you have to leave your job because of the mist treatment that’s a lawsuit.
Wow reading all theses replies I feel CTL is corrupt. We are all supposed to honesty and integrity in the workplace.
So once again the company promotes its unifying principles by creating a call line that at best does nothing and at worst harms the person that calls. What a joke.
Reports just get the person or persons reporting in trouble and put in the spotlight. A whole workgroup here had video and audio proof of wrongdoing by a supervisor and him stealing from the company. Everyone was called individually and talked to and in the end WE were labeled the troublemakers and got pulled into a meeting by the district manager and told to never do that again if we wanted jobs.
Integrity line doesn't do sh*t. Only call to report someone so they get promoted. Peter Principle.
You think this place can't get any worse, then you read these responses. Something has to change.
Well that's great. Got to love a place that punishes someone for reporting misbehavior. I don't know how these people sleep at night.
I reported to them. Then the company took away my Wafa access.
Integrity line sends to HR rep she's worthless cc: storey maybe you'll see results their looking to get rid of people. Let's start with the bad apples.
Basically calling will put a target on you. Unless the whole work group feels the same and calls...do not do it. There is no integrity at CenturyLink.
Total waste. We reported an SRO that used his techs to help him move to a new home on company time. Oh, and he used a company truck ouy of another area to do it. Then, he wrote an order and paid a contractor to condition pairs for a bonded DSL to his house. And if course, hebpuy in am otdernfor a bonded "test" line yo be installed at the frame for testing. Of course, this got promptly connected to his new house, on his newly conditioned pairs....paid for by the company.
Proof consisting of pictures and bills from the contractor that cleared the pairs were submitted. The lady from security in Colorado called the people whi knew about this. She tells them, oh, he's at it again, this isn't the first time hr has done something like this. We all waited.......NOTHING. Swept completely under the rug and not another word.
Do not bother as it is a total waste of time. Regardless if you have audio and video tape of the action happening, nothing will be done. I say this as a tech that was directly involved as a witness in several investigations of code of conduct violations, as well as s-xual harassment and very clear racially biased remarks and negative treatment of a technician. These were things done both by other technicians as well as managers. You will get a lot of Kabuki theater. Dancing around, very theatrical interviews and zero action. Things that would immediately get you fired in any other ethical business are routinely swept under the carpet but only after a "thorough investigation" by the ethics and compliance folks. It is the biggest and saddest joke in this company. If it is serious enough you feel it should be reported and it happened to you, go see an attorney if you seek a remedy. Don't bother painting a target on your back reporting it to the clowns in ethics and compliance. It's unethical and non-compliant with regard to our code of conduct or federal labor laws. If the female employee involved does not feel it is serious enough and you can't show harm to yourself you are wasting your time. "Reported 8 times" and nothing was done. There is your answer.
