Let's say you were privy to a secret plot to get rid of one of your co-workers. Let's say you were invited to participate.... in writing even.

Let's then say that you found out that one of the managers was part of the plot too? And that manager and the owner were close friends.

How could you find out if the owner was aware? Or if they were even part of the conspiracy? Would you risk your own job taking a chance and approaching the owner? Would you try to approach a friendly manager first?
