The dilemma

The flaw is a clear violation of safety codes. The walkway below is packed with morning commuters. If you halt the work, the delay will cost the developers hundreds of thousands of dollars, and your firm will take the blame for the stoppage.

Your options

1. Pull the stop work cord immediately.
2. Document the flaw and send an urgent anonymous tip to the city inspector.
3. Confront the site manager privately to force a quiet fix.
