in reply to Should I tell them something is wrong?

I think your bosses comment has told you what to do.

In a perfect world the correct thing to do would be to correct or show what needs to be done.

However, since your boss said "don't touch it because it breaks easily" kind of tells you that even though you did the right thing, you will probably get in trouble.

But this is an outsiders opinion. You know your boss better then we do. If he would want it fixed, you can show how you can better it and eliminate a chunk of the breakable parts, etc., he might go for it.

Otherwise, if he worships the other guy you could get in trouble.

Just my .02

    Hey...off topic a bit, but has anyone noticed that the boss is a "she"? I think it's an interesting thing that everyone mentioning gender so far has defaulted to male.

    Not a big deal, just interesting.

      No he is not. As was read:

      Later on, my boss came told the rest of us not to mess with the code that Other Tech Support Guy wrote, as he said it was very "breakable".

      Besides English class told me that if you don't know the gender the default is he ;-)

        Hmm...It appears you're right...the boss must be a hermaphrodite.

        # Or do I go to my boss and lay it out on the line, even though it will look like I disobeyd a direct order, although it was prior to her telling me not to mess with it...

        Unless the first "he" was referring to the coder. :)
