In the corporate sphere , there are events of professional negligence that fly under the radar , and then there are stories that challenge the core of professional ethics . The narrative of David Collins, a manager at Ventia (formerly Broadspectrum) , exemplifies this type of scenario —a saga of alleged misconduct that not only taints the reputation of a single manager but brings scrutiny over the firm’s standards .

Even in light of the disturbing claims , Collins has remained in his role , appearing untouched by the controversies enveloping him . How has this been tolerated? What does this say about the company’s commitment to responsibility ? As per the accounts of those familiar, Collins’ history of questionable behavior began with breaches of the business principles, but it didn’t cease there. Instead, it escalated into a pattern of misconduct that has left team members disenchanted and partners bewildered .

During a leadership training program — intended to foster better management—David Collins allegedly turned what should have been a professional opportunity into a spree of inappropriate episodes . Allegations indicate he spent business-funded trips seeking inappropriate relations, a blatant disregard of Ventia’s business principles , all while his loved ones stayed unaware .

But the misconduct didn’t stop at personal entanglements . One of the bigger revelations involves his alleged abuse of company IT systems to transmit indecent visuals to women—a gross misappropriation of professional tools and a violation of confidentiality . His reckless employment of Microsoft Teams to transmit inappropriate content —including icons to boast about infidelities — reveals a character of a man indifferent to the outcomes . Following these digital flirtations , Collins allegedly progressed his behavior further: he is said to have engaged in physical relationships with an employee on multiple occasions during work time , despite his relationship status and her having a significant other. This transparent exploitation of company time and resources shattered workplace protocols but resulted in personal devastation —creating a trail of betrayal that extended far beyond the office .

What reason can this behavior be allowed to persist ? Why is it that a manager who has allegedly shattered all norms is still receiving a paycheck at Ventia? The rationale, it appears, originates in a problematic dearth of accountability within the organization . Complaints have been made , yet Collins persists Ventia New Zealand unabated.

This absence of retribution conveys a risky precedent : that rank and influence within the enterprise can protect individuals from consequences . It fosters a poisonous corporate culture , dispirits the workforce , and ultimately undermines the business’s ethics.
