Those incentives cut both ways. It also creates a huge avenue for rogue employees to suddenly craft themselves payout strategies. The law firm that we use recently told about such an action they defended for another client. A disgruntled employee, who suspected they would soon be fired for lack of performance, "setup" certain actions, documents, prompted specific executive responses to emails, etc. The claim was that there was prejudiced hiring practices ongoing. However very little true evidence existed...most of it was in fact crafted by the employee. The whistleblower action resulted in a meager voluntary fine that the company paid (didn't make financial sense for company to fight, easier to pay the $10K and move on). The ex-employee for their part received $1500. Currently they are in a recovery program for crack addiction.
