Thanks for responding. I really want to do this, but I worry it is unfair to people in other departments who do not get the sneaky down-low info. Really the company itself has to be honest without delay, since that will achieve the same thing but equally for everyone; and I feel like that is what I will push for.

You don't need to worry about being unfair to other distant departments. You only need to tell your reporting tree.
