Seu chefe exige acesso a arquivos confidenciais. Como você navega nessa situação delicada?

Evaluate the nature and urgency of the request. Determine why your boss needs access to the confidential files and assess if it's a legitimate and necessary request. Understanding the context can help you navigate the situation more effectively.

If you are thinking about whether to provide your boss with access to confidential information or not, then it likely means that they are not eligible to handle the information. Your first step should be to communicate this to your boss, as they may not be aware. While uncommon, it can be a red flag. Next, understand the specific information your boss needs. Often, this is to address sensitive issues, such as managing a dissatisfied client. Consider the risks of sharing this information. Instead of direct access, offer to act on their behalf by conveying the necessary details via email or phone. Always consult with the relevant authorization teams before proceeding to ensure compliance and confidentiality. PS: Feel free to reach out to me.
