    I am currently working in a regional office of an investment firm here in Scotland. Last year I was working in a graduate programme role. Last Spring the three managers were fired due to regulatory breaches. Further to this I was promoted to the role of a assistant portfolio manager and resumed my role with the new manager who also worked under the old regime.

    During the past few months the old managers have decided to set - up their own operation, this would result in them trying to target a number of clients that my colleague and I inherited on their departure.

    In addition, I recently suspected that my colleague ( the new manager) is setting up with the old managers. On further investigation I have obtained documents that prove this and information that he is providing info to the former managers i.e client lists etc. He has no idea I know this and continues to bull**t his way around the office.

    My question to you is How do I approach this?

    1. Do I approach senior management in head office and tell them what is going on?

    2 Do I say nothing?


    I would be grateful for any advice here.

    There are some very big ethical and possibly legal issues here. Take any opinions you get on here with a pinch of salt and make sure you do the correct thing to protect yourself and your career.

    The important thing from my point of view is that you talk to someone senior about this. Is there another senior manager that you have a good rapport or have confidence in? If not then get in contact with someone in HR...

    These are very strong allegations that you intend to make, before coming out in the open with them have them corroborated by someone else and keep records of all your meetings regarding the issue.

    But as I said, that's just my 2c, do what is right for you and your situation...

    would echo what Xebec has said.

    If there are regulatory breaches you do have a duty to blow the whistle however.
