Reported someone for showing up to work drunk. He was fired shortly after. It was justified because in his job, he put others at risk of harm in addition to himself, but it still feels bad.
You potentially saved someone’s life. Surely you’ve done worse!
He was an old guy without a lot of employment options, so getting fired likely had a very negative impact on his quality of life. I know he did it to himself, but it's the only time where a decision I made was a clear link in the chain of someone else's life getting significantly worse. It was necessary, but still sucked.
You didn't get him fired, he got himself fired
I reported a coworker for being drunk at work 3 days a week...it took them 13 years! Until they passed him the ultimatum: either you accept our help with your alcoholism or you're out.
He left and started a new life in a new country, wife kids etc donated a large part of his money to a local school...only to die months after due to stomach issues as a result of years of alcohol abuse.
We had 2 guys like that and they took 13 years with one and 15 with the other.
The one of 15 years controlled heavy machinery daily.
