Can’t upvote this enough. This is exactly the reason most people choose not to report unless they find themselves in a position where the could not plausibly deny knowledge. I’m sure it happens in every industry that those that report get punished and there is no reward for it.
- guitarbill 7y agoI obviously don't know the details, but it sounds like proper whistleblower protections and channels would've helped? Ideally OP could have reported it, and stayed anonymous/not have his manager find out. It's probably not so simple in real life, but having to use existing management chains makes it harder, because they're usually not well equipped to deal with such situations (or worse, might have a hand in it).
- rdtwo 7y agoThere are usually no such thing as truly anonymous reporting. The act of reporting makes you a leper in the corporate structure and retaliation is pretty common, and difficult to prove in court.
