Funnily, one of the common fears our clients (https://gdpr-tools.eu https://gdpr-tools.eu) have with regards to GDPR is not about the general public. It comes from disgruntled employees ratting on the company. Employees know best where personal data is stored (and often no one else in the company does), so they can really do some surgical damage by reporting their employer to the "authorities". GDPR introduces a whole new dynamic.

This is the case for every law. A disgruntled[1] employee at a coffee shop that has mold growing on the kitchen ceiling can, after being ignored by management for weeks, rat on the company. (And then get shitcanned, with no recourse, because none of their co-workers will testify to the truth on their behalf, because they are cowards who don't want to lose their jobs. Understandable, but sad.) This doesn't mean that we don't need food health and safety inspection laws. It does mean that you actually need to run your business in a way that respects your customers. Stop running your company with the attitude of "It's fine, as long as I can get away with it." I have no sympathy for that. [1] You can be a disgruntled employee, and also be 100% in the right, if your boss is behaving illegally.
