No, that's what YOU would do - not necessarily what other people would think is appropriate.
My husband was in the same position as the guy he called - with another company. He used the rule of thumb that societies have handed down since ancient times, which is "Treat others as you would like to be treated." He would have much appreciated the call if the shoe was on the other foot, so he made the call. He didn't say, "You should fire these guys!" He just said, "They're here at Chilis, they've had quite a bit to drink, they're wearing company uniforms and I believe this is the license plate of the company vehicle. They're also being loud and cussing like sailors in a restaurant full of families. I thought you would like to know that." The other manager was VERY glad to know that and expressed his gratitude in no uncertain terms.
You might not have appreciated it, but I doubt seriously that you'll ever be an Ops Mgr for an international oilfield services company and have to deal with the issues such a management position entails. I won't be either - besides the fact that I'm not qualified, I wouldn't want to deal with the headaches. I would CERTAINLY appreciate someone else in a similar position having my back though.
Well, you've got me there. I've not been in that position. But the story, as presented had nothing whatsoever to do with your husbands title, or whether he works for an international firm. Really. I work for an international firm myself and have some very specific qualifications. It doesnt have a darn thing to do with my actions on dealing with someone I fear is a danger to himself or others.
Hmmm, an analogy directly related to your comment that the friend of the company director, should not call the company director, but rather rely on the assistant manager of the restaurant, to make sure the company director's employees didn't drive drunk or operate dangerous machinery while intoxicated.
Not my comment or my opinion, you're confusing me with someone else..
