I am in a situation nobody wants to be in. I am looking for a new job because of situations at work while still needing the job to pay bills. Basically I am in charge of a project building a product for a customer. Lately I have found several instances of questionable practices in the production.
One specifically chaps me, found out that a machined part had been welded then remachined because it was overcut. We don't have MRB authority, didn't have any authority to touch the part after it was machined incorrectly. When I found out, went to the plant manager and found he was aware, and told me I wasn't supposed to find out. Big red flag for me, time to move on. I don't want my name associated with that kind of work, when it's the upper management making the calls, I don't see how to change the atmosphere. I don't have my PE but definitely subscribe to engineering ethics.
So the question is, putting out resumes, is it acceptable to put "Company confidential" or something like that as my current employer? Or would that tend to get it round-filed? I'm in a relatively small market, don't really want my bosses to find out I am job shopping, already on a tight budget as it is with family, school bills...
By the way, that part did get scrapped, everyone involved knew my displeasure, but not the first time it has been attempted.
