Decision Question
Should Engineer A escalate the uncorrected discipline misrepresentation to a firm principal in writing, or continue deferring to the marketing director's unfulfilled promise of correction?
Focus
Engineer A, an EIT whose engineering discipline has been misrepresented in firm marketing literature for six months after notifying the marketing director, must decide whether to escalate the uncorrected misrepresentation to a firm principal or continue waiting for the marketing director to act.
Option1
Bring the uncorrected misrepresentation directly to a firm principal in writing, citing the applicable state board rules of professional conduct and the six-month failure to act, so that the firm has a documented internal opportunity to remedy the error before any external reporting is considered.
Option2
Allow additional time beyond six months for the marketing director to fulfill the correction promise, on the grounds that the error was inadvertent, the marketing director has acknowledged it, and organizational processes for reprinting materials may require extended lead time.
Option3
Bypass further internal escalation and report the sustained misrepresentation directly to the state board of professional engineers, on the grounds that six months of inaction demonstrates that internal channels are ineffective and the public is at ongoing risk of relying on the misrepresented credential.
