Should I tell my boss?

[Henock]

A bit of context. I'm working as a concierge at a fancy condo during the overnights. So lately (over a couple weeks) a trend has started with a lawyer type dude in the building.

Here are the facts

1) Every night I work at 0200 (approx) a white 4door car pulls up to the front.
2) He comes down from his condo
3) He has an exchange with person in said car for roughly a minute
4) He reenters the building and uses the ground floor public washroom
5) I heard fairly loud snorting noises coming from the washroom

So the obvious conclusion is that he is doing some kind of nasal drug. (coke? maybe?) Granted, I could be wrong. Should I tell my boss? I figure it isn't my business and I should stay out of it. At the same time it's clearly a drug deal going on right in front of the building every night.

[Kalyyn]

Every single night? God damn, why not just buy in bulk? Surely even drug dealers give you a price break at some point?

I dunno, I think you should maybe say something. I guess there is a slight chance of a misunderstanding here. But smart money is that it's at least a drug deal, possibly something even more sinister (I mean really, every single night? That's absurd!)

So yeah. Maybe you should say something.

[Exeris]

Unless he is causing problems I wouldn't.

Best thing to do is not talk about it. If it is drugs and you tell/snitch on some one your f@cked big time.

[Pizzakid2093]

On the one hand it is would be the morally right thing to do to tell your boss.

On the other hand you don't want to get mixed up with someone with money who does drugs.


I'd stay safe

[Daerio]

If you decide to tell your boss, I would do it very diplomatically, and make it very clear that you don't actually know what's going on. People assume things all the time that aren't true. If your boss decides to confront him and it's actually something else going on, it'll just make things worse for everybody.

[calculating]

Only if he violates hotel policy like pooping on the walls.
Otherwise, he knows it's you that said something and might do something about it being a lawyer

Note down the license plate, inform the cops and have them stake it out when you're not on duty.

sorry, nothing's obvious or clear till you see it with your own eyes. casting suspicion on someone, that could cost him his job, just because you have a hunch and lots of circumstantial evidence is unfair.

Whaaaa? You understand that's how most crimes are found out right? Also it won't cost him his job unless, you know..he is guilty of a crime.

[Ryuukon]

Honestly? Do nothing. Your boss already knows, and hasn't done anything about it.

Obviously reputation means nothing to you

Once you've been accused of something the stigma always remains.

Sounds awfully similar to Penn St and the whole Sandusky issue.

That's a good reason not to say something /smh

[Crissi]

If you think it (meaning the potential drug visitations) could potentially harm the business, do so. I know i wouldn't want to stay somewhere a drug dealer visits nightly.

Phone police, Explain everything anonymously as one of the residents.
Problem solved.

That's very naive of you.

Personally I wouldn't tell anyone. You don't know anything illegal is going on while it is suspicious. If it bothers you mention something casually in conversion with your boss.

[Åmbulance]

That's very naive of you.

Please explain further.

Make an anonymous call to the police, tell them what's going down, let them decide. That's why they're the pros. Don't jeopardize your job or get yourself involved in the matter at all. Just tell the police to check it out a couple of nights at that time, shouldn't take too much effort.

[prwraith]

If it's suspicious behavior then report it to your boss, don't limp dick around the whole situation. Mention it to your boss and let him decide how to proceed.

The interesting part is if the police recognises that car. The lawyer is of no interest to them. He's one user. The police is going to be interested in who's selling the shit. And if it's someone they already suspect, great. If they don't know him, super, they can start investigating him and what's best, they already know one place where he'll frequently be available for convenient arrest.
