What do you think Paula will do, and why?

Paula worked almost full-time during college, taking six years to finish her degree and become a laboratory technologist. It was hard, but she loves the work, and she was excited to finally finish and take a position at a regional laboratory. She has health insurance for the first time in four years, and a good salary so she can start paying off her student loans. Her new employer also offers matching contributions (up to 5 percent of her salary) to a 401(k), which will vest in five years.
The first few months went very well. She was given a mentor, who showed her how to best accomplish her work and explained which policies were actually used and which could be safely ignored. She made friends with other technologists and started seeing a few of them outside of work. Things seemed to be great.
Now, about six months into her new career, the lab has hit a busy time.
Paula has discovered that her supervisor, rushing to hit deadlines and meet quotas, is not following all proper procedures, which could lead to errors in their tests. Paula mentioned this to her colleagues and work friends, and they all told her to ignore it. A few of them have tried to bring it up before, but their supervisor threatened their jobs if they pursued it. One person actually did report it to their boss’s boss; they were fired the next day.
Paula now faces a dilemma. She thinks of herself as an ethical person and feels she should report this violation. But she needs the job, enjoys her work, and does not want to cause problems for her friends and colleagues, who could be seen as complicit. She isn’t sure what to do.
