Would you?

[TWR]

If you knew that someone you knew had been ripped off would you go out of your way to help them & get justice.

[bednobs]

no

[daffy654]

If it was a family member or close friend then yes, anyone else I doubt it.

[andy-hughes]

A family member or friend - yes, and have done so.

[China Doll]

Unlikely.

[mccfluffy]

Walked out off a job in support of someone being bullied, does that count?

[Barmaid]

I've just agreed to act for someone free gratis because I am so angry with what the "other side" have done to the poor old chap.

[TWR]

Barmaid / Mcc, thats my way of thinking, too many people think about themselves to day.

[lady-janine]

yes. would do my best

[rowanwitch]

Yes... helped people write letters, writing to MP etc hate unfairness

[sunny-dave]

Yes - I too have left a job on a matter of principle to support two colleagues. The manager couldn't understand and was saying "we specifically framed the redundancies to avoid affecting you" ...

And in general I will always help those who are making an effort to help themselves - even at some inconvenience to myself.

I tend to be less helpful to "my life is crap and the world is out to get me but I'm not doing anything about it"

[Old_Geezer]

I think it depends on the circumstances. Are you advocating being part of the mob with the baseball bats that is to turn up on the rip off merchant's door ? Or are you suggesting writing to your MP ?

[RATTER15]

I have put my job on the line quite a few times sticking up for my residents and colleagues.

[Sqad]

No......particularly if I had ripped them off..........again.

two former colleagues of mine were hauled up before the boss after a minor but embarrassing bungle (this was recently, after I'd retired, so I heard about it second-hand). The boss told one of them - the one who was the last line of responsibility - he was getting a formal warning. The other one immediately stood up and said "If he's getting a formal warning, I want one too."

Don't know if he got one or not.
