Inside job

The term inside job colloquially refers to a crime, usually larceny, robbery or embezzlement, committed by a person with a position of trust who is authorized to access a location or procedure with little or no supervision, e.g., a key employee or manager. The perpetrator can also be a former employee who still has specialized knowledge necessary to ensure the optimum result of committing the crime.

Members of 12-step organizations refer to the work of recovery as an inside job, referring to the process of introspection, self-discovery, and fundamental change necessary to maintain long-term sobriety. Process of taking a moral inventory, sharing this inventory with another person, and making amends to people who were harmed by addictive behavior are fundamental to success and sobriety.
