#legalliability

Use common sense here - unless you have something that's really major to report, the hot line will not help you at all. as @jrf said below, they will side with the #STL always (unless the STL has her/his own issues) - however, if you have a major thing to report, they will consider it as it becomes a #legal thing at that point, they need to build a paper trail and they will thread lightly. I am not saying do not do it, but I would be very selective about what to report, do not think that you are phoning a friend there - the line was primarily established to protect #WFM - if they have one they can say, look what we did - we are playing by the rules and we are proactive in the fight about xyz (the use the same tactics when it comes to all that anti-harassment training, compliance, etc) They, WFM management, do not care about you getting educated or professionaly developed, all they want is to be able to say - look, we told her/him not to harass, we even trained her/him - so it's a good way for the company to decrease #harassment #legalliability)
