Can you provide cliffs? This seems possibly interesting but I can't commit to reading it thoroughly. Basically managers are quoting too high a price and pocketing the difference?
 
Sounds like another whistle blower but he does it all wrong by illegally logging in another persons email account while not hiding his tracks.
 
Skimming further this is actually kind of entertaining. From what I gather:
1. op lives in the Ascension Islands for a multinational company
2. op hacks his mother-in-law's email account to investigate possible misconduct
3. op sends lengthy results of investigation to head office manager/director whom he has never met. op requests one month of leave in said email
4. op is shocked to discover he is suspended, told to leave, and can't access his account anymore

I did not read thoroughly so could be some mistakes



Summary "cleverly" edited to protect the poor, hapless OP.

Now I know that he and the other managers don't like me because I am very vigialt, know the system too well, and always catch the mistakes of other staff and forward it to them and they thought that threatens their jobs somewhow

I don't understand, either. Your sort of person is always well-liked around the office.

Btw, think you might be invading John Doe's privacy a little?

So you think posting the name of a "VVVIP" customer is any better? Since you hate the job so much, don't worry, you'll be fired in a heartbeat once they find out you shared this with the world. smh


quoted for epic stupidity

OK, OP was shamed enough. removed.

Whistleblowing typically gives you cover for your own misdeeds.

I think the idea there is related more to keeping/sharing information you have stumbled on. Not 'hacking' (quotes because 'email hacking' rarely involves actual hacking) another employee's account to gain information.
 
Would have been better if you report to a regulating agency, THEN your whistle blowing would have been covered under that guise as opposed to sending an email up the chain. Although, I don't know enough about the laws in the UAE, but in the US, you're protected as a whistle blower if you initiate the contact with the proper authority. Anything you're doing then, is to give them information.

Would you have to get approval from the agency before any illegal action, like accessing email accounts? Seems unreasonable to allow anyone to give themselves a warrant to investigate wrongdoing.

I don't know how smart that would be. We're working with Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, and these guys are serious business. If his company has any juice with the anyone gov or the royal families he'd be in for a world of hurt.

If the authorities or royal family gets involved ... what kind of fines/prison is the OP looking at?
 
damn too bad no one quoted the OP for ownage.

i vote this as an eligible ownage/backfire of 2013, despite the OP being edited out.

Lifted had him quoted in post#12 but because he is also a Nice Guy(TM) he has apparently removed the quote.

edit: I guess OP has actually taken some of the advice to heart, since he is taking a lot of effort to obscure what he originally posted. Good for him, he's learning.

No. Let's say you work for a bank, and you "accidentally" stumbled upon something and you send the info to the SEC, you are protected.

That's why I said I don't know about the UAE, probably corrupted to hell.
