“Just this one time” is how problems start.
What Bending The Rules Looks Like
These are NOT small shortcuts. These are serious breaches.
- Colluding with bankers, financial advisors, or property agents
- Harvesting customer lists without permission
- Creating or inducing extra commissions outside proper structure
- Parking cases on behalf of others
- Receiving referral fees from law firms
If it’s not transparent, it’s a problem.
What This Really Means
These actions are:
- Unethical
- Unprofessional
- Potentially illegal
“Everyone does it” is NOT a defence.
Redbrick Standard
- No hidden arrangements
- No side deals
- No bypassing the system
- No working outside approved structures
If it cannot be explained openly, it should not be done.
Consequences
- Immediate contract termination
- Reporting to authorities (e.g. CAD, Law Society)
- Reporting to partner banks
This is career-ending behaviour.
