The said employee who intends to use the upcoming business transaction to become rich depicts an ethical misconduct. The first step that I will take will be to report the said employee to the senior management. This will allow the senior management to take the appropriate actions to prevent serious consequences that may affect the company and the relationship it had with the client. The move by the employee would lead to a breach in trust, integrity, and transparency between the company and the client. This is because the transaction would lead to a breach in the security of the database management systems and data theft on the client’s side.

The client’s data has to be safeguarded and secured at all times. This would help the company establish trust and transparency with the client. As the Middle Manager of the company, I will take legal remedies in case the data structure that the employee was planning to access through the inside scoop of the database management system was critical data in order to maintain the trust of the client and to safeguard the critical data. Litigation efforts should be taken in case sensitive and highly confidential data is breached to prevent lawsuits (Horner et al., 2018). On the other hand, I will summon the employee and issue him a caution letter, then advise him appropriately so that he could be aware that his/her actions were unethical and he risked being fined, suspended, terminated from work, or legal action, or even both.
