This, nepotism is rife in private American companies of all kinds from my own experiences and others.
O God, there's at least one company, I personally have experience with that not only is a nepotistic hellhole, but is actively defrauding the government and a few big names. The result of spoiled brats getting control of a very niche private hardware engineering company after their father died.
- areoform 3y agoThat sounds like a startup opportunity.

- ameister14 3y agoYes. There are statutory protections for whistleblowers, as well: https://www.sec.gov/whistleblower/retaliation https://www.sec.gov/whistleblower/retaliation
- justinclift 3y agoI guess the real question is if they're generally effective? For comparison, Australia theoretically has protections for whistleblowers. But it's unfortunately common for whistleblowers in practice to get royally shafted, have their life destroyed, (etc). :( * https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-03-27/richard-boyle-case-goes-to-trial-after-immunity-defence-fails/102148790 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-03-27/richard-boyle-case-go... * https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-04-13/trial-date-for-afghanistan-alleged-whistleblower/102218334 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-04-13/trial-date-for-afghan...
