...to report a manager for sleeping with someone on his team?

A male colleague recently received a significant, and IMO, undeserved promotion.
For context, I work in the beer industry and around 90% of all staff are male.
99% of all leaders are male.

This colleague, with no managerial experience, no has a large team of about 10 people covering large area of UK.

I spotted during an event on his first week, he seemed very 'close' to a female sales person, who has recently moved in the UK, and reports into him.

I've since found out they are sleeping together.

It's totally inappropriate, immature and an abuse of power - his is older than her, and her manager.

Shall I report it on whistleblowing number?

I'm absolutely not jealous. His promotion still makes him (very) junior to me.

I think he's quite a manipulative character and very good at building a work persona - which i find disarming.

For example, we have a casual dress code - jeans and trainers - he wears a full suit, everyday.

I think he thinks being 'corporate' is wearing a grey suit. I think being corporate is not shagging the most junior person on your team 2 weeks into your new job.

So did you ever report it? What came of it?

You are clearly bursting to report them so just do it. YABU for bothering to start a thread to tell the tale, you never came here to ask a question

I wouldn't worry about it, Coldplay have revealed their secret to the world.
