I went to every level in the chain of command to explain that situation, and the system failed me. What I'm stating is that we need to have an independent area to report to, so that, as I said earlier, a proper investigation could be done without anybody knowing what's going on. Even the person we report could still establish whether there's any merit to what we bring forward without causing discomfort to anybody.
When we report to our supervisor or anybody else in the chain of command, especially if it involves the people in the chain of command, there's not much we can do. There's no way this information or any type of administrative action will be initiated.
I hope I've understood and clarified the question.
