This is not specifically an engineering question, rather more of a business ethics question/delima,
I know someone who works for two businessmen. He is responsible for handling the operations of one of their many joint companies. They also have other companies separately.
It is beginning to look like one of the business owners is taking part in risky behavior. To give a general idea of the situation:
*Possibly having an affiar with one of the employess (businessman is married)
*That employee is known to "use" perscription drugs (not within the law) and possible some other non-prescription drugs (Mary J for example)
*That employee is in charge of hiring/firing other employees and has managed to hire many others with the same behavioral/addicticed vices
*Business owner having affair with said employee may also be using drugs
*Other business man does not seem to know anything is going on, but does not like said employee and believes employee may also be bending rules of company to make employee look more valuable to company
My friend values his job and does not want to quit. He also has a lot of respect for the other business owner who does not appear to know what is going on, and he used to respect the businessman who now appears to be engaging in the risky behavior. OH, and if all this doesn't sound like a soap opear already these two businessmen are also related by marriage (brothers in law).
Got any good adivce for my friend. He's considering talking to a lawyer to protect his job. He wants to do what's right for the company and for the businessman. He's the businessmen's "right hand man" so to speak. He's also considered the options of carefully confronting the one business man or letting the other know what he has learned.
The info seems to be coming from several sources so it looks like the worst is true.
